Since Nicolas Florin’s arrival, Éleusie de Beaufort had tried her best to perform her usual tasks in the belief that her diligence would be a comfort to her girls. Were it not for this wish to carry on as though nothing in their lives had changed, she would have remained in her chambers despising her cowardice.

She was on her way to the steam room, walking unhurriedly, when her attention was caught by two figures standing side by side. Without really knowing why, the Abbess flattened herself against the wall behind one of the pillars holding up the vaulted ceiling, and watched the scene taking place twenty yards away. Her heart was pounding and she pressed her hand against her mouth, convinced that her quickened breathing could be heard at the other end of the abbey.

Florin. Florin was leaning over and whispering something to one of the sisters. The Inquisitor’s back obscured the listener’s identity. A few seconds passed, which seemed to her like an eternity. At last the two figures separated and the Inquisitor promptly disappeared down the right-hand corridor leading to the relics’ chamber.

The person to whom he had been speaking remained motionless for a moment, and then appeared to make up her mind, turning towards the gardens.

It was Emma de Pathus, the schoolmistress.
