she would still have been

lying there.

Instead of tucked up snug

in your spare bed.

I'll make some for you

when I come down.

Do you much more good

than that stuff.

It's a lucky thing

she didn't lose her baby.

Her baby?

Here you are, my little one.

Drink this.

It'll soon put you

to rights.

No. Now don't try to speak.

Just take a sip or two

of this.

And you can

go back to sleep again.

That's a good girl.

A little more.

Good.

There.

Now you go right back to sleep

and let my herbs...

soothe away

your aches and pains.

What did you say about...

Shh.

A baby?

In a few months there'll be

a little baby in the house...

if the good Lord

spares her.

What's your name,

my little one?

Oh, come now,

you needn't be shy with me.

You haven't spoken a word

since you've been here.

Nobody is going to hurt you.

Now tell me,

what's your name?

Oh, my poor child.

You poor little thing.

You poor lonely little thing.

Teresa's new interest...

gave me the peace

I needed for my work.

At least, it did, at first.

Here's your nightcap,

seor.

Leave it there, Teresa.

Seor, I'm beginning

to be a bit worried.

What about?

Of course, you may think

me superstitious.

I think...

You may think me

superstitious, but...

I've seen a good deal more

of the world than you have.

The real world, not what you

read about in your old books.

You know,

it will soon be the 25th.

25th?

Of December.

You know what that means.

The 25th is always

on Christmas Day.

Well, then? Christmas Day

is always on the 25th.

Of course, if you're going

to make fun of me...

No, I am not making

fun of you.

I don't understand.

What's the matter?

What's worrying you?

What worries me is that the girl

upstairs is about to have her baby.

And as like as not...

it will be born on the very

hour of our Lord's birth.

Surely that should be

a reason to rejoice?

For an unwanted child

to be born then...

is an insult to heaven,

seor.

That's what I was taught.

In the village

where I come from...

the girls stay away from the

men in March and April...

just in case.

Let's pray the little child

is born too soon.

Or too late.

Otherwise...

Don't worry.

We'll have it born

exactly to suit you.

Oh.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Hello, what's this, then?

Nasty, that is.

Very nasty.

Dominique,

you lost any goats?

No.

Why?

There's a dead one up here

with his throat torn out.

Very nasty.

That dog of yours

been behaving itself?

Now, listen...

if there's a dead goat

up there...

with its throat torn,

it can't be him.

It'll be a wolf.

A wolf, eh?

Yes.

And you're paid by us...

to keep things

like wolves away.

A wolf, eh?
