				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/iconofroses/MadisonJames.png)</div><br>“Sister Madison James, how wonderful it is to welcome you to St. Augustine!”&nbsp; <br><br>Warmly Madison smiled as she bobbed her head politely to Father Liam O'Roarke, a tall and stately, gray haired gentleman who had gentle, pale blue eyes and a kind touch when he lightly took her hand in greeting.&nbsp; “Thank you very much, Father.&nbsp; I was so happy when I received word there was an opening here at the abbey and the school.”<br><br>With a cheery smile still dominating his weathered face, Father O'Roarke turned to guide her through the abbey's courtyard to the Sisters' domain.&nbsp; Tradition remained at St. Augustine requiring all Sisters to live at the abbey, staying nearly cloistered behind the tall gates and within the abbey, church and connected school.&nbsp; Although permitted, it was rare to see a Sister beyond the gates unless they were venturing out to aid the community around them.&nbsp; The lure for Madison had been the school, feeling that God had opened this path to her so that her love for teaching could be utilized in His name.&nbsp; <br><br>How better to combine the two things she loved the most – God and education?&nbsp; Even six years since she'd first said her initial vows, two years since her final vows, and still her heart warmed with the truth that this had always been the right decision.&nbsp; And now she'd been given the chance of a lifetime to come teach at St. Augustine, one of the finest Catholic schools and abbeys in the country.&nbsp; Even as they walked through the sanctuary of the abbey she could feel her heart warm in the strength of God's love that surrounded her and felt herself truly blessed.&nbsp; <br><br>Inside the foyer of the abbey, Father O'Roarke paused to pull down on a long, velvet cord that dangled down before the final door, large and gated, that kept the world safely at bay from the Sisters.&nbsp; Even Father O'Roarke was not permitted into their personal domain, not even to the kitchens or cellars below.&nbsp; Only a moment passed before the door was opened by a young woman – a novitiate from the look of her altered habit – who smiled and gestured Madison into the abbey.&nbsp; Father O'Roarke left behind, Madison stepped in with a friendly smile lighting up her dark eyes.&nbsp; <br><br>“You must be Sister James,” the woman began as the heavy door locked shut behind them and they turned to start down the corridor brightly lit with sunlight from the windows that clustered the walls.&nbsp; “I'm Sister Beckett.&nbsp; We're so happy to welcome you here – the other Sisters are currently attending their classrooms.&nbsp; The Mother Superior is waiting to see you.”<br><br>Her breath caught in her throat, Madison's grin only grew as they paused before a pair of double doors, their brass handles gleaming in the light.&nbsp; She'd heard but whispers of St. Augustine's Abbess, a Sister who'd come into her position younger than most.&nbsp; “Thank you very much, Sister,” she said and gently squeezed Sister Beckett's hand.&nbsp; <br><br>Madison paused as the Sister continued down the hall before she turned and knocked thrice upon the door.<br>
