The Soeurs Augustines are very happy in their lives, but they see a great deal more of the outside world. They always have patients in the hospital, and people in the apartments, which are much in demand. The care and attendance is very good.
If you had been in the convent, you would have believed it. I'm mad sometimes quite mad; with pride, I suppose, and vanity. The Soeurs said it was that." "They had to explain it somehow," said Ashe.
