The Widow's Tale (Sister Frevisse Medieval Mysteries Book 14) - Plot & Excerpts
Beth brought her something to drink and that finally quieted her wild sobbing, but when she was done with the drink she bent over on her pain again, rocking gently and sometimes moaning, and to all their urging to lie down or speak only shook her head from side to side, refusing. Leaving her to it but keeping watch, Cristiana and Beth went aside to the window to talk with their heads near together. “I’d rather keep the stronger syrup for Gerveys’ pain, but she can’t go on long like this” Beth said. “If she doesn’t calm soon, I may have to give her more than valerian.” “Her grief won’t be the less when she awakens. It’s maybe better to let her live through it to its other side.” If there was an other side to grief. Cristiana had yet to find an other side to her own yet, different though hers had to be from Ivetta’s. She and Edward had been deep-rooted together. They had shared years and children and her grief was for loss of all she had had with him.
