in the local cloister. The former Mother Superior, Helena Klausmann, known as Old
School Helena, was found dead there. Only 15 minutes earlier she had been seen
by the other Sisters on the veranda and although no one saw the accident, it is

old and weak, and when it broke, fell below. She was found in a flower bed filled 
with stones and sticks, lying face down on the ground in a pool of blood. One eye 
was pierced and the skull shattered. She was 71 years of age but still healthy and
