The Monsignor had given up trying to talk to the driver more than an hour back. The two nuns in the back of the car had been saying the rosary ever since the journey began. The driver stopped, and consulted a note. He opened the door, stepped out and spoke at an entry phone. The Monsignor heard him murmur again. He got back in the car as a gate opened. As he drove through, the cars lights swept a small enclosed courtyard. The driver drew up by the pedestrian door ignoring what appeared to be a loading dock. He spoke to the Monsignor "You are asked to wait a minute." He opened the car rear door and gestured the younger nun towards the door. She opened it, and closed it behind her. The driver looked again at his watch, then half bowed the Monsignor towards the door. As the Monsignor closed the door behind him, he saw the driver starting the car again. He turned to the greeting of a short solid monk of about 40.
"Good morning Monsignor. You have a letter for us, I believe?" He passed over his letter of introduction. The monk opened it and read it carefully. "Thank you. As you know I must now ask you a question to confirm your identity. What is the first name please of the Bishop of Paris?"
"Francis, though he is known as Jean"
"Finally, a question you will not expect. Please name the church where you took your first communion."
"It was not at a church. I was in a hospital, Benares General hospital in fact."
"Thank you again for your patience. I am Brother Joachim. You will understand that we have to very sure of the identity of our few visitors."
"You take great care to protect the reputation of the Church."
"Sometimes we think that we have even more to lose than the Church; if an ill-intentioned person disclosed our rule, we would be cast out from here. My apologies also for our rule that all arrivals are before sunrise, and departures after sunset. You will be ready for a hot drink and some breakfast. Step this way."
"Monsignor, may I introduce you to Sister Seraphina." The Monsignor's first impression of the person in a habit identical to Brother Joachim's was of a monk, but as she rose from behind a table he realised that he was facing an unusually dressed nun. "Sister Seraphina is our Superior here. I act as her deputy in such matters as receiving male guests." The Monsignor noticed the young nun in her normal habit standing inconspicuously behind Sister Seraphina, who said " I myself was greeting our new Sister Anna Dolores." She nodded towards the nun without introducing her. "Our breakfast is set on the trays on the small table. We will leave the larger table and this tray for Brother Joachim and our new sister. You are already a little shocked, I fear, by the habit that we Sisters wear here. It is a minor precaution against outsiders being scandalised by accidental glimpses of the normal habits of two different sexes. You will be further disquieted, but I must witness the proper welcoming of our new sister." She sat down in the chair placed to look towards the larger table. The Monsignor took the other, which was placed with his shoulder towards the larger table.
"Tea or coffee?" said Sister Seraphina. "Coffee, please. I give it up for Lent, but not easily." He realised that Brother Joachim had sat on a bench beside the young nun and was urging her to eat with words about Brother cook's disappointment if she did not make a good meal.
As the Monsignor ate in companionable silence with Sister Seraphina, he was aware that she was watching the others. However as she turned from them to pour him a third cup of coffee, he heard a gasp from the sister with Brother Joachim. He could not believe his eyes when he saw that her breasts were now bare and Brother Joachim's mouth was applied to the breast farthest from him. He looked away instantly to Sister Seraphina. " I hope that first real shock is the worst you will feel here today. When this House was founded for religious who had both a vocation which every test showed was genuine, but who could not deny themselves to others who were in need of their bodies, we had to work out a rule. One part of it recognises that any new member of our community will be in severe need of physical comforting. That is what Brother Joachim is now doing. I must witness it as the senior here of our new Sister's Sisters; no act of serving other members of our community is ever done here without witnesses. Exclusive feelings between Brothers and Sisters would destroy our community." She ate her second and last piece of toast watching the other pair with a smile on her face.
The Monsignor heard the sounds get quickly louder and more intense. Suddenly they gained a new quality, and he realised that he was probably listening to a female orgasm. Or perhaps more than one; it seemed to go on and on. The groaning male cry must be from Brother Joachim. " It is delightful that you and Brother Joachim gave each other so much at your first welcome here, Sister Anna Dolores. Now we have five minutes to prepare for chapel." The Monsignor found himself left with Brother Joachim. They did not speak until after the service. Then as they went in to the hall where the community's breakfast was laid the Monsignor said "I tried to imagine your state of mind as we went to worship, but my imagination failed utterly."
"Primarily, relief and thankfulness. I had prepared for the welcoming of Sister Anna Dolores with much prayer and all the care of which I am capable. Relief and gratitude for what I received yes, but that is a very minor part of the whole. Had she not responded and let her body rejoice, all would have turned to ashes and I would have been working out bitter regrets in penitence for failing her. Now I can rejoice with our whole community that she has truly come to the home she will share until death."
They listened to the grace before the meal. The Monsignor realised when they raised their faces that the majority of the community were men. He counted eleven female faces including Sister Seraphina; and seventeen men. As a brother stepped towards the reading desk, Sister Seraphina rose and held up her hand for attention. " I must speak to you about two matters. The Monsignor is our visitor today. He is charged with putting a proposition to us. He will do so at a special chapter we will hold this evening. Until then he has asked that he may observe the normal life of our community. The whole life of the community will therefore continue until evening as though he was not present for everyone except Brother Joachim and me. It is seventeen years since we have had a visitor within these walls, but you will remember from reading our rule that only Brother Joachim and I may speak with our visitor."
"The second matter is one for rejoicing. Our new Sister Anna Dolores is being welcomed into our community today." She gestured to the young nun to stand at the right hand end of the top table. "Each of us who has not already given her the kiss of welcome will do so now. She has already breakfasted. Brother Stephen, it is for you to kiss her first before you commence your reading of the rule to us." The young brother turned form the reading desk and with a radiant smile strode to Sister Anna Dolores and took her in his arms. As they kissed their tongues entwined and their hands moved over each others' bodies though without disturbing either of the monkish habits which they both now wore. In less than a minute Brother Stephen stepped to the reading desk and began today's passage from the rule. Sister Seraphina nodded to the first of the brothers on her right. Throughout the meal while the others gave attention to seeing that everyone was silently offered all that he or she might need, and to the reading, the succession of the passionate kisses of Sister Anna Dolores continued. The Monsignor suddenly realised that it was the Sisters now who were kissing her with much the same physical heat.
