Chapter 11 (part 2)
At the convent Jude and the sister went in the room were the new ones where.
They were all shouting and fighting.
Sister:please, girls silence...silence
Angelica and another girl that was near her were still fighting.
Angelica:give it to me back (to the girl next to her)
Sister:Angelica ...Angelica silence
Angelica:but she took it from me
Sister:silence I said
Angelica looked up to the sister when Jude saw her face and she recognized her.
Later they were in the garden and Angelica was talking to the other girls.
Angelica:it's nice and it's very big
Jude saw her and went to talk to her.
Jude:Angelica ...come here
Angelica:(to her friends) I'll come back
Jude:come near me don't be afraid
Angelica:why do I have to be afraid?...I'm not scared of anyone
Jude:a few days ago I saw you at the entrance of the convent, you were with Mr Darius
Angelica:even you know Mr Mills?
Jude:yes, and there was another person with you
Angelica:(smiling) Tommy Quincy
Jude:yes,...is he your relative?
Angelica:he's my man
Jude:your man?
Angelica:(nodding) after he comes back from this trip he will come for me and will take me to his house
Jude's thoughts 'I can't believe this her man...how many women does he
have?...and I was so stupid to fall for him...a man whore...how could I?...not
only my sister but even Angelica...but how can he even do that to
Angelica?...she's so young...how old is she?...maybe 15 or 16 it's like rapping
someone'.
At Darius's office Speed and Quest went to talk to Darius.
Darius:oh, Speed, Quest come in
Speed:hello Mr Darius
Darius:so what can I do for you?
Speed:unfortunately we have bad news Mr Darius...Quest was at the port when a boat that was in the area as Tommy came in
Quest:they said that Tommy and all aboard the 'devil' were all arrested on the isle
Darius:arrested...but why?
Quest:I asked but they didn't know why but they are already sentenced. Tommy and Kyle are sentenced for a ten years of hard work
At the convent Jude was talking to the sister about Angelica.
Jude: I can't believe it sister she's too young
Sister:she's only 16 years old
Jude:that man...he's cruel, an animal...how can he be so inhuman...do you think someone else knows?
Sister:I never heard anyone say anything...and she was recommended by Mr Darius which he talked directly to father Dominic
Jude:but you think that Angelica is...she's the woman of that bastard...Tommy Quincy?
Sister:it's one of his sins
Jude:I will call Mr Darius, I know him since I was little and I'm sure he will tell me the truth...I can't believe it...I just...he can't...
Sister:but he did
At the Dutois mansion Mike was walking to the stables when Jamie called him.
Jamie:Mike
Mike:yes, sir
Jamie:they told me that you're not anymore the supervisor of the mansion
Mike:yes, it's true
Jamie:I'm sorry...you know I doubt it that Mr Chris is going to find another one like you, with your experience...tell me something...why here you don't use the prisoners that are sentenced for hard work?
Mike:yes, before we did but now Mr Chris doesn't agree with something like that...and after all it's not easy to find them...they come from south and all the big countries take them first
Jamie:hmm, and what do you tell me about the prison here in town?
Mike:no, those prisoners don't serve here, they can't do anything...the most of them are drunken men and they will not resist a week
Jamie:your friend Robert Castalo is a relative with that director of the prison right?
Mike:how do you know?
Jamie:(smiling) I know that he was in a fight with a man named Tommy Quincy
At the convent Mr Darius went to see Jude because she called him to talk to him
about Angelica.
Jude:hello Mr Darius
Darius:Jude what a pleasure to see you, how are you?
Jude:fine thanks, and you?
Darius:good, good...yesterday I received your message and I'm sorry I couldn't come before
Jude:no, I am sorry to disturb you...please sit down
Darius:of course...after you...tell me everything I'm listening
Jude:I told you to come here because...one of the new girls that came here there is one Angelica
Darius:I wish she's not disturbing
Jude:no, no I wanted to see you...because talking with her I found something...that if it's true we have to help her...we can't leave an innocent girl live in sin just because a man abused of her innocence
Darius:excuse me but of whom you are talking?
Jude:of that one that was with you when you brought Angelica here
Darius:ah, Tommy
Jude:yes, exactly he abused of Angelica...and even wants to take her at his house when he gets back from his trip...is she going to be his whore?...and the bad thing is that girl is happy about it...she's proud of it
Darius:let me explain to you something...Tommy is not the monster you and everyone in town think of him
Jude:but he didn't even hesitate to abuse an innocent girl
Darius:no, no there was no abuse...the truth is that...you are a very naive person, you were always home or here at the convent...how can I...how can I explain to you some things of life?
Jude:you can do it with all the liberty...I know the persons misery and it will not scare me
Darius:there are things...things that hurt even me and I doubt that you can even think of the poor people life's...they go to the port and fight for a piece of bread and they sell even their honour for not die with hunger...and like that was Angelica and when Tommy got her out of the horrible thing she did...she wasn't innocent...she worked as...she did what the men like...and that's why Tommy noticing that she was so young took her away with him
Jude:but she said...
Darius:believe me what Angelica says has nothing to do with reality...that she's in love with Tommy...and that she wants to be his wife...it's understandable...you have to know that Tommy was the only one that helped her, protected her, gave her to eat and drink, gave her clothes to dress herself without even taking anything back...and I want to repeat you something...that Tommy is not that devil that everyone thinks
Jude:are you really sure?
Darius:listen to me carefully Jude no one...no one I repeat it knows Tommy as I do...I know him since he was little depressed and hungry, without friends or parents and even without a name...I saw him fight with all he got and I saw him move forward have respect from people in the port and the poor ones...everything he knows he didn't only knew it with life but he read it even on my books...yes, yes...because even if Tommy with his aspect of a rude and with his violent moves he's very intelligent
Jude:but you are describing a person that...
Darius:that no one thinks?...yes, I already know but there is more...Tommy...Tommy has a heart of gold...he's noble and generous...and all the rude ways he have and how he acts sometime it's nothing but just acts to hide himself...he hides a sensitive hearth... and a hearth with need of love
Jude:if you talk about him like this you have to love him very much?
Darius:at the point that I pray that he comes back fine and...I want to give him my name...yes, and it will be an honour for me...to call him my son
Jude's thoughts 'wow that was...I brought Darius here to give me some things
that will make me hate Tommy but instead...I...I think that...I think I fell more in
love with him. From his eyes when I looked in them I already saw the things that
Darius told me but I didn't believe them...or I didn't wanted to believe them. He
was with Sadie and I didn't wanted to let myself fall for him but now...I think I fell
so hard that I don't think I can get back and I need to get back...he doesn't feel
the same about me and I can't love someone that can't return the feeling. But
how can I stop this...this feeling'.
Teaser:
Robert:thank you... You desire a special woman?
Angelica:yes, with other clothes but she was her...she's one of the whores of Tommy Quincy
Man:but someone told you that he was in prison...who told you that?
Angelica:I already told you in Tommy's house
Jude:oh, my god why Sadie why you had to dishonour our name and with him...why him from all the man you could have had...why the one I love
Jude:you should be ashamed of yourself, you bitch
Jude:deny it if you have the courage
