In Old California 10

Did raised hands show religious fervor new? Don Jose, Dona Rose Marie thought so. Don Jose gave his wife a smile that grew, and Rose Marie returned his smile with glow. The convent time had made her pious, lo all others gave them approbation smiles. This penance made her better they did know for she had overcome her cloister trials. The priest suggested they remain inside until the weather ended skies of rain. " My children. This sudden rain can't last long. It's only temporary and it'll soon end. Is it not better to have patience and stay dry in God's church than to leave and get wet? It surely is. He's only watering trees and flowers; it'll not take too long. Beloved, if you'll be seated, I'll have Brother Dominque bring goat milk and cheese. It'll help you wait and time'll pass more quickly. Please feel free to talk and be at ease. In God's house you're at home. I'm going to leave but won't be gone long. Won't you be seated. Your horses will wait and it might be dangerous if you were to leave now. With sudden rains there is often lightning."
