Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sister Philomène At the further end of the ward something lightens the depths of blackness, something that bears the semblance of a plaster Virgin. The atmosphere is warm, a damp warmth, heavy with a faint odor, a sickly smell of heated ointment and boiled linseed. All is hushed. Not a sound nor a movement is heard. Night and silence reign over all. From time to time the stillness is almost imperceptibly broken by a rustle of sheets, a smothered yawn, a half-suppressed groan, a gasp - then the ward again relapses into a dull, mysterious peace. At a little distance a stout young woman, her hair ruffled with sleep, rouses herself from the big, white-covered arm-chair in which she has been dozing, while her feet rested on the rung of a small chair in front of her, which is faintly lit up by a hand-lamp placed on it, together with a small prayer-book.
