Let's hope that Jeff is incorrect when he postulates that this conversation could have been overheard in the Abbey infirmary.

Nurse [whispering] They say her arm was cut clean off.

Nun [likewise] Injured yes, cut off absurd!

Nurse They also said they saw some ghosts...

Nun ... and that it possessed the Church Knight and made him attack. Such nonsense.

Nurse What ever shall we do with them.

Nun Same thing we always do. Humour them. Let the poor deluded wretches stay here so they harm no others.

Nurse The Abbess says she wants to try a new therapy. She has made a picture puzzle she called the Canticle of Refuge. She says if they arranging the pictures and try to tell a story it will give us insight into whatever mental trauma caused the delusions.

Nun Very well, but if they get violent, be sure to tie them to the beds.
