Chapter 6 Reunion_2

"Please sit down and let's talk," Eileen invited gently, "the soup will get cold soon."

The four of them took their seats at the dining table.

Mr. Michel wasn't home, and Mr. Mitchell was on duty in the barracks, so the head of the table remained empty.

The four sat facing each other, Scarlett sitting next to Winters, and Father Caman and Mrs. Mitchell sat on one side.

"About Father Anthony's matter," Winters offered his condolences to Caman, "I'm very sorry."

Caman made a calm sign of the cross and spoke the customary words of the clergy: "Brother Anthony is not in pain, he is with the Lord now, and has eternal life. As for the gold and silver vessels, they are unimportant."

At this, Winters didn't know what else to say.

He had a vague feeling: the extent of Caman's grief over the church in Wolf Town becoming ruins didn't seem to match his own.
