During the mid-term break in
studies, the girls from the St. Clare Centre went on retreat. Madam Sue,
very much acting like Mama Sue, was on hand to make sure they had their tooth
brush, etc. and to see them off.
As it turned out, it rained
all the previous night and the bus could not make it into St. Clare due to the
mud. So the girls had to walk the muddy road, carrying their belongings, to the
bus. Mama Sue was right there with them... slipping and sliding along.
