Haec tunc in dormitorio sororum pausans, audivit subito in aere notum campanae sonum, quo ad orationes excitari vel convocari solebant, cum quis eorum de saeculo fuisset evocatus: apertisque, ut sibi videbatur, oculis aspexit, detecto domus culmine, fusam desuper lucem omnia replevisse: cui videlicet luci dum sollicita intenderet, vidit animam praefatae Dei famulae in ipsa luce comitantibus ac ducentibus angelis ad caelum ferri.
This nun taking her rest at that time in the sisters dortoir heard suddenly in the air the known sound of the bell, wherewith they were wont to be awaked or called together, whenas any of them had been called out of the world: and opening her eyes (as she thought), she saw the roof of the house uncovered and all filled with light poured from above: and as she earnestly marked this light, she saw the soul of the foresaid handmaid of God in that very light carried toward heaven, accompanied and led by angels.
