The Huntress Of Thornbeck Forest - Plot & Excerpts
Rutger had informed her that Wernher had slipped through Jorgen’s grasp and escaped. She shuddered inside at how close she and the boys had come to Jorgen catching them. She would be sure to thank God for Wernher’s escape.If she saw Jorgen at church, would she be brave enough to ask him how things were going with his hunt for the poacher?Odette walked with Rutger to the cathedral, which was not far from their home. Odette pulled her veil over her face as she entered the echoing nave. She dipped her fingers in the holy water and made the sign of the cross. Then, bowing her head, she genuflected before the crucifix depicting Jesus suffering on the cross. After a moment of silent prayer—God, forgive me of my sins and remember them no more—she made her way toward the altar, finding a place to stand where she could see the priest.Odette glanced around but did not see Anna or Jorgen. Rutger joined her, bowing his head and kneeling to pray. Odette did the same, making the sign of the cross over her chest.Usually Odette felt little or no guilt for her poaching activities.
