The Temple

Excuse me! Sorry, sorry, things are rather busy here…

Yes, yes, this is the Temple… sorry, the Almshouse. I must remember to call it by its proper name. I wonder, could you pass me those bandages… thank you! They need washing…

You want to know what's going on here? You don't know?! I thought we were infamous…

No, no, of course you can stay for a while! Sit down, please. Have a drink. Only water I'm afraid but we have boiled it…

Me? My name's Benedicta, but that's not important. I'm one of the helpers here.

Yes, that's it, relax. We don't have much to offer, but what we do, we offer for free. You'll find we have quite an assortment of odds-and-ends.

Unless, that is, you came here for a chat? A lot of people pass through our doors, there's bound to be a story or two that you have not heard before…

I'm sure you'll find something to take away with you…
