Waiting for Ulf on the porch, looking out over the moonlit graveyard, Hawise found her thoughts drifting to the dead girl who so recently had lain in the crypt beneath her feet.

“She were about your age,” Ulf had told her when he came back after Allie’s investigation. He had told her other things, too, the few details that he knew, but it was the comparison of their ages that had resonated with her most.

Ever since that day she had thought about her often, wondering, like everybody else, who she was, where she had come from and whether or not her unshriven soul had been admitted to heaven at last or made to wander the earth a poor lost soul forever. She imagined her rising from her grave in bridal dress, a beautiful blue bliaut, with a jewel-encrusted torque around her neck and golden bracelets on her arms, reaching into the celestial light around the Blessed Virgin.

Hawise very much hoped that it was less an imagining and more of a vision and that the girl, whoever she was, had found her bliss at last.
