Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by KB on Jan 10th, 2004, 12:52am Such a nice clean thread deserves more lovely new story! |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Susan on Jan 10th, 2004, 2:26am Fully agree with the previous speaker |

This may seem like a logical stopping point for you, who knows what is coming next, but for those of us with no idea of what will happen, it's very nerve wracking! You wouldn't want to be responsible for lots of nerve-wracked CBBers, would you? |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by LulieCat on Jan 11th, 2004, 8:58pm *arrives armed with strengthening tonic from Matey* Dad was on the computer yesterday, and I've spend a lot of today preparing for tomorrow, whe the darling students arrive back. Oh and knitting a scarf with eyelash wool. But here' s the more you so politely (?) requested ;D ********************** Jack, ignoring the expression on Lulie’s face, said rather shortly, ‘Go inside, Lulie and ask Mrs Maynard to run baths for Mr Denny and your Uncle, and have beds and a light meal ready for them. Gaudenz and I have to get to the San as fast as we can. Hurry child, quickly.’ Spinning round, Lulie sped off, and she bumped into Anna still in the hallway, she delivered Jack’s message about the baths and beds, before going off to tell Joey. Those in the know managed to keep the latest news to themselves, which was surprising in the circumstances, as Joey said later, considering the way the girls had of absorbing any gossip from the air. Joey, on seeing Lulie’s face, took her upstairs to help get the beds ready while the two men were in their baths. She then shooed her into the nursery, sending Con, Ricki and Odette up too and left the four girls to help Rosli with the twins and Cecil. Rosli, having heard the latest from Anna, gave the girls a sympathetic look, but carried on with what she was doing. Later that afternoon, while Anna was trying to make Kaffee for all the extra girls, Lulie peeped out of the nursery and saw Joey entering the two spare bedrooms with trays. When she’d come out of the last one empty handed, she saw Lulie looking anxiously at her. ‘Do you want to go and visit your Uncle?’ asked Joey, with a grin and in low tones. ‘May I? I’d love to. Is he all right?’ ‘Why don’t you go and see for yourself? He’s just in there,’ Lulie tapped at the door indicated and slid round the barely opened door when she heard her Uncle’s deep ‘Come in,’ ‘Lulie, what are you doing here?’ Uncle Philip sounded surprised. ‘It’s all right, Mrs Maynard said I might. Uncle Philip are you OK, really truly OK, I mean?’ Lulie hovered anxiously by the door, as if coming into the room would harm her uncle. Uncle Philip grinned, ‘I’m fine. I’ve lost the ends of my beard, and my hands are a bit scorched, but other than that, I’m the picture of health.’ He held up his hands, neatly bandaged by Dr Graves. Lulie almost choked on a sob of relief and sped across the room, half kneeling on the bed and hugging her uncle tight round the neck, ‘I’m so glad, I thought you were going to burn to death in there,’ she exclaimed, driving back the tears. Uncle Philip gingerly patted her back and said, with rather forced cheerfulness, ‘Not me, it takes more than a few flames to finish me off!’ Lulie stood, pulled a chair across and sat on it, ‘But what made you go back in there? Here, let me butter your rolls for you. I almost had a fit when I saw you and Pl…Mr Denny rushing back inside. How is he, by the way?’ ‘Not so good. I know you won’t say anything, so I’ll tell you. He suffered rather a lot in the first war, and hasn’t been strong since. That’s why he’s with the school, as mountain air suits him so well. I do hope he won’t be too badly affected by all this.’ ‘Dr Jack and all the others at the San will look after him,’ said Lulie, brightly, ‘I knew he was delicate because Con told me, and he hasn’t been ill for ever such a long time. He’ll be fine.’ ‘Let’s hope so,’ Uncle Philip took a sip of his coffee and sat back against his pillows, ‘Have you heard how Miss Wilmot is?’ ‘Not a peep. Dr Jack took her off to the San.’ Lulie’s bright eyes clouded, ‘was she badly burned? What happened?’ ‘Ka…Miss Ferrars came rushing over to tell us that Miss Wilmot was trapped inside the school, so we two went to look for her. Luckily she’d kept her head and was on the floor. We managed to get her out to Dr Maynard, who rushed her back here to his car, to take her to the San. He doesn’t seem to think that she’s badly burned, more a little scorched and suffering from the effects of smoke. Don’t look so worried, kitten, she’ll be fine. They can work wonders at that San.’ ‘I know, it’s just… well; it’s not very nice. It would have to be Miss Wilmot, as well,’ ‘What do you mean? Would you have preferred it to be one of the other mistresses?’ ‘No, it’s just that if anybody had to be stuck in the school and you had to rescue them, it would be Miss Wilmot. I got off to such a bad beginning with her, over the religion thing and she went pop over it at me. Then you come to the school to teach and that can’t have been easy for her, with you being my uncle and practically representing everything she objected to. Now you’ve just gone and saved her life.’ ‘There is all that. But Miss Wilmot and I are both grown adults, and you seem to be well on the way to it, if what you’ve just said is anything to go by. Perhaps I’ll go and visit her, as soon as Dr Maynard will allow me.’ ‘Allow you to do what?’ asked Jack’s voice, as he entered the room, ‘Hello, Lulie. Come to keep your uncle company, have you? Well, hop off now. I’ve come to examine him. You’re staying with us for the present, along with quite a few others, and I think Mrs Maynard would appreciate some help with making up enough beds to fit you all in.’ ‘Of course,’ Lulie jumped to her feet, and gave Uncle Philip another hug before scuttering off to find Joey. |

Once the fire was out, it was found to have begun in the kitchens, burning them out completely. The Speisesaal, staff room and Hall were also unusable, but the rest of the buildings were all right, if smoke damaged. It was clear that school couldn’t carry on with any kitchen facilities, and so those in charge had no choice but to send the girls home. Those girls who were unable to return to their families were accommodated on the Platz. Every available pair of hands was recruited to help clean the school, once professionals had been in to clear the worst of the smoke damage. Lulie, who was staying with the Maynards, was very quiet at first. Uncle Philip had been moved to the San, after collapsing with the effects of delayed shock. Mr Denny had already been moved, as he was also rather ill. A few days after all these events, the three patients at the San were well on the road to recovery, Mr Denny was the one the doctors had worried about most, due to his delicacy. However, his long years among the mountains had helped to strengthen him a little and he was soon on the mend. On the day that the good news had arrived at breakfast time, courtesy of Jack Maynard, Lulie, the triplets and Ruey; a ward of the Maynards, spent the morning on their allotted household chores, then the five of them put their coats and hats on to go for a walk. ‘If you want to walk over to the San, girls, you may,’ said Joey, coming out of her study just as they were preparing to go. ‘Lulie, if you want to visit your Uncle, one of the doctors will bring you home, but you may have to wait. You other girls, I’m afraid you’ll have to just peep and say hello, I want you home before lunch,’ The other girls’ faces showed what they thought of that, but none of them made any complaint, though Margot looked as if she might. However they set off in peace, and Len kept the subject of conversation firmly on neutral lines most of the way to the San, by which time Margot had forgotten what it was she had wanted to say. Once inside the building the five girls separated, Lulie to Uncle Philip’s room and the Maynards split themselves between Miss Wilmot and Mr Denny’s rooms. ‘You seem to be doing a lot of this,’ joked Uncle Philip, as Lulie once more sat on a chair next to his bed. Lulie grinned, glad that her uncle appeared to be his usual self once more, if a bit more relaxed than she was used to him being. They chattered on for a while, until Dr Maynard interrupted them. ‘Are you ready?’ he asked, with a smile at Lulie. ‘Is it time?’ replied Uncle Philip, preparing to get out of bed. ‘Time for what?’ asked Lulie, bemused. She was answered by grins from both men. ‘You’ll see,’ replied Uncle Philip, putting his dressing gown and slippers on, ‘come on,’ Utterly confused Lulie followed the pair out of the room and along a corridor. She finally understood when Jack tapped on a door, and when he’d opened it, said cheerfully, ‘Hello Nancy, are you still fit after a visit from my daughters? I’ve another pair of visitors for you, if you’re up to it.’ ‘Of course I am,’ came Miss Wilmot’s voice, sounding the same as ever, ‘don’t be so mysterious, Jack, show them in!’ |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Vikki on Jan 15th, 2004, 1:22am Oooooooh!! Yum!! Baileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeys!!! Thanks Lisa!! |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Lisa_T on Jan 15th, 2004, 1:25am I thought you'd be impressed! ;) I wonder if Rachael's house will be able to cope with the volume of Baileys at the gathering? |

|
Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by KB on Jan 15th, 2004, 3:27am Well, I did suggest a while ago that maybe the Gathering should be alcohol-free... |
||
|
Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Rachael on Jan 15th, 2004, 9:27am LOL. Lisa_T - Rachael's house is well accustomed to copious volumes of alcohol, if not specifically Bailey's! And KB, the Gathering may or may not include alcohol, but I reserve the right to have a snifter, especially once my house is invaded by 30+ marauding CBBers!! Lulie - this is great, as usual :D ... but I have to say, I can't envisage any romance between Nancy and Uncle Philip and I don't think Lulie is going in that direction ... is she?! After the magnificent Alternative Romance, I'm afraid Nancy will forever belong with Kathie Besides, and very importantly, Uncle Philip isn't a doctor ............................ ;D |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Vikki on Jan 15th, 2004, 6:55pm With regard to alcohol at the Gathering, there shouldn't be any harm in a moderate amount, although none for the under eighteens, of course! (sorry Chloe, and anyone else so affected!!) ;) Oh, and more story please Lulie...... |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by LulieCat on Jan 15th, 2004, 8:26pm Sorry folks, the romance in my soul is away on holiday. But thank you for the laugh all your speculation gave me. It's much appreciated. Here's the real, much more mundane version of events. ************************ Nancy looked rather apprehensive when the two visitors were ushered into the room, but then she caught sight of Lulie’s face and couldn’t help laughing. ‘Don’t look like that, Lulie dear. I promise not to bite,’ Lulie relaxed into a smile, and went and got chairs for her and Uncle Philip, while Nancy turned her attention to her rescuer. ‘I don’t know what to say to you about this. You saved my life, and the words ‘thank you’ just don’t seem enough,’ Rather to Lulie’s amusement, her usually perfectly composed uncle looked extremely discomfited. He sat down rather suddenly in the chair that she had pushed behind him, and cleared his throat, looking for something appropriate to say. Nancy began to look rather embarrassed, and as nobody seemed about to say anything, Lulie perched on the edge of her chair and asked ‘How are you, Miss Wilmot?’ Nancy shot Lulie a grateful look and replied ‘I’m much better, thank you. I’m not in so much pain and, thankfully, any burns were confined to my legs, and they weren’t so bad. Dr Jack seems to think that I won’t need skin grafts, though I’ll still have scars,’ ‘Oh that’s good,’ ‘Yes, excellent news,’ Uncle Philip suddenly came to himself once more, and spoke up rather loudly, making the other two jump, ‘I’m glad you’re feeling more yourself.’ ‘And what about you, Philip? You weren’t too badly hurt were you?’ Nancy looked rather anxious. Uncle Philip shook his head, ‘No, just a bit scorched. I’m fine now.’ ‘What about the school?’ Nancy turned to Lulie. Though she knew all there was to know from Kathie and Miss Annersley, Nancy asked simply for something to say. ‘The kitchens were burned out, so the school has had to close until they’re rebuilt,’ replied Lulie, ‘All the girls have gone home until it’s done. I know Mrs Maynard was hoping it would be done in time for the school to reopen after Easter.’ There was a silence after Nancy had responded to this. Nobody knew quite what to say. Uncle Philip had been rather taken aback when Jack had come to him that morning with Nancy’s request that she visit him, together with Lulie. Lulie, who had known nothing of this, was very uncomfortable as she could sense there was more to this than she had been told. Nancy was ill at ease, as she couldn’t find the right words for what she wanted to say, now that the pair were sitting beside her. |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by PatMac on Jan 15th, 2004, 8:46pm Thank you for that. I wonder if Nancy is going to say she was wrong to be prejudiced against pagans? I felt for their awkwardness, it was so well described. Certainly doesn't look romantic at all. Ah well I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Could be a twist or 2 yet. |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Lesley on Jan 15th, 2004, 9:31pm Must say I agree with Rachael - Nancy and Kathie belong together - Catherine_B that's your fault! Lulie - still loving this - hope Nancy finds the right words. |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Vikki on Jan 15th, 2004, 10:01pm Thank you Lulie!!! *looking forward to more soon.....* |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Susan on Jan 16th, 2004, 1:44am Thanks a lot Lulie this is good. Must admit to feeling the same as the others but commom sense says it wouldn't work. Waiting patiently(ish) to see what happens next. |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by KB on Jan 16th, 2004, 2:48am I imagine that would have been a difficult scene to write, Lulie, with everyone being so uncomfortable! |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Rachael on Jan 16th, 2004, 9:18am Come on, Nancy! You can do it, girl! :D *waiting patiently-ish for Lulie's next posting* |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Rachael on Jan 16th, 2004, 10:07am I was trying to follow the sterling example set by Sue above - are you implying that I am less capable of patience than Sue?! |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Sarah_K on Jan 18th, 2004, 2:25am Can see why saying anything might be hard for Nancy but I'd (we'd) really like to know what she's finding hard to say. *gives up on subtlety* *joins her first drabble chant* |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by LulieCat on Jan 18th, 2004, 10:43am I'm still here, enjoying Lesley's self-harmonising. My brain is drowning in snot, so is working slower than usual. I hope to post some more before midnight tonight, but if I don't it's because my nose has fallen off! *throws maya gold chocolate into the chanting mouths* |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Rachael on Jan 18th, 2004, 1:59pm Poo! I thought that was a proper post! :( Hope you feel better soon, Lulie - in the meantime though, I have just trawled through and now appreciate Polly's pun - nice one!! Thanks for the choccie! ;D |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Catherine_B on Jan 18th, 2004, 7:59pm Lulie, please may we have some more? I'm in a very irate mood because I went to an unknown church this evening and got a sermon all about how paganism was the wilful manipulation of spiritual forces for one's own selfish ends. (The preacher also had other little gems about the need to convert the Muslim world to the only real faith, but most of the onslaught was for paganism) I was so pissed off that I walked out before the end of the sermon! >:( What's wrong with encouraging one's congregation to live a godly life and bear witness that way? Why do some people feel the need to bash other faiths (which they probably know nothing about) to promote their own? And surely the Middle East has more problems than just those of Iraqi Christians (those were the only ones prayed for tonight!). Hello!?! Social justice anyone? !? *in ranting mood* *though not wanting to offend any evangelical Christians on the board, who all seem to be much more thoughtful than that preacher!* |
||
|
Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Lesley on Jan 18th, 2004, 8:40pm Catherine - perhaps you should have asked this 'Richard-head' when he intends to go to Iraq to convert all the heathens? Sorry if that's also offensive to anyone but I agree with you Catherine. I think this type of person (I won't say preacher because I don't feel he has earnt the title) is dangerous! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Rachael on Jan 18th, 2004, 9:29pm *doubled over keyboard, guffawing at Lesley's euphemism 8oo!!* Catherine_B - you're so right ... for people like me, that's enough to turn me off "religion" ... every time I take one step closer to thinking about the "bigger issues" in life, something like that happens to reconfirm all my prejudices and I shy away from it all .... these so-called preachers should take a long hard look at themselves and the infuence they have ..... |
||
|
Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by Pat on Jan 18th, 2004, 10:32pm The problem is that you get people like that in all faiths! Look at Bin Laden trying to rouse the Muslims! He's using religion too, and for the wrong purpose! |

Title: Re: CS and a Pagan ~ Part Six Post by PatMac on Jan 18th, 2004, 10:47pm Too true, Pat! Fanatical so-called religious people have caused an awful lot of trouble in the world! |
