As if it were that same afternoon only a few weeks ago, she could hear the merry sound of Magdalene’s laughter as she had splashed and frolicked at this very spot while the nuns had watched in dismay.
Wringing their hands. Sending prayers heavenward. Wet from head to toe from their thwarted efforts.
Their poor lunatic charge dodging all efforts to catch her…except Magdalene hadn’t been a lunatic after all.
She was sane and whole and happy…so happy that she had wanted to share her joy by sending a messenger to the convent with the wonderful news.
She had asked for forgiveness, too, for all the trouble she’d caused them—and explained what lay at the heart of her ruse, which made Sister Agnes murmur a prayer for Debora, may she rest in peace.
Sadness turned to happiness, grief to joy.
Aye, God was good.
Smiling, Sister Agnes rose from the bench and went to the fountain where she dipped her hand into the cool water, filling her palm, and tossed it high in the air.
The droplets sparkling in the sunlight and then raining down upon her, which made her shake her head, thinking of all of Magdalene’s antics…and laugh.
