MP3 Audio CD. In Our Convent Days Marianus I do not know how Marianus ever came to leave his native land, nor what turn of fate brought him to flutter the dovecotes of a convent school. At eleven, one does not often ask why things happen, because nothing seems strange enough to provoke the question. It was enough for me--it was enough for all of us--that one Sunday morning he appeared in little Peter's place, lit the candles on the altar, and served Mass with decent and devout propriety. Our customary torpor of cold and sleepiness--Mass was at seven, and the chapel unheated--yielded to a warm glow of excitement.
