Monika von Augusten beams as her gossip was published in the paper. She brought it to her father, "Papa, look at vhat ea vrote!"

“Vhat zhe. . .” Monika looked at the church, still aflame and turning to ash as she returned home. “Zhese people do niet even respect ein church. Zhey deserve nein compassion.”

Annette von Theonus laid in her bed, nodding her head as she thought of her time in Minitz. "Ich miss zhat place. Mein friends. . .hov our family vas." She spoke, looking over to her husband. "A shame."

Thérèse von Theonus weeps for the loss of her brother-in-law, holding onto her husband. “Shall he join His Majesty in the skies. He was a good man and did not deserve this. The best brother I could ask for.”

At least her family's name was cleared now. . .but at what cost?
