Patsy and Delia couldn’t reveal why they were leaving Nonnatus House in Sister Julienne’s office. They couldn’t be arrested for being lesbians, but it was still mostly frowned upon like romantic relationships between men. They were afraid Sister Julienne would use her beliefs to discriminate against them. They were used to other people doing the same thing outside Nonnatus House.
“We are used to midwives coming and leaving Nonnatus House,” Sister Julienne said, smiling. “We will all miss you both living with us. But if you two wish to return, our doors are always open. I wish you two well.”
