#sister Veronica

[sisterjulienne]

Sr MJ: I am not known for relishing the limelight…but today we come in praise of someone who seeks it even less.

She has been present at the opening of a thousand pairs of eyes…and witnessed the closing of a thousand more. She has soothed the sick and fed the hungry. She has given counsel, offered consolation. And she has dried tears.

Sr V: She has performed a mother’s work for decades. And like a mother she has sought no thanks. But in every house and every street there are women and children, and mothers, who love her. And these are the tokens of their regard…for Sister Julienne from the Order of St Raymond Nonnatus.

My latest post on AO3 is not a fic but an overview of labor statistics for Call the Midwife Series 1-12. You can get a quick look at the mums, birth locations, if it was on screen, nurses/doctors present, baby number and gender, and any other medical notes. I was doing this for my own fic writing but thought I would share for any others who might find it helpful.

"What better place to show you our progress than in the Nonnatus House dining room - perhaps the location most central to our drama, and the room where all our stories really happen.

"That remark may seem surprising. Surely the birthing room is the most important driver of the action? Or the darkest parts of Poplar?

"Yes, those places are important. But the one indispensable scene in every episode is the place where our characters can share their thoughts together, and comprehend things that have happened to them as a community.

"It's the place where we shed light on our characters' personalities - how they might interact with each other. Also, it's a place for humour. And cake!

"In this shot, director Syd Macartney discusses the important elements of the forthcoming dining room scene with Jenny Agutter (Sr Julienne) and the team.

"A dining room scene takes longer to film, because there are usually lots of people present. Each character will have their moment for dialogue, or a reaction to someone else's words. In an ensemble drama like ours, every character has something to say - even if they're not speaking."

@sicktember Day 11: Beginner's Guide to Faking Sick

Julienne honestly didn't know who she was more frustrated with this morning. She didn't doubt for a moment that both Monica Joan and Veronica were unwell, and spring colds were always unpleasant. However…

For the last three days, they had both been running her utterly ragged. Pillows needed rearranging, tea was required, no actually she'd prefer lemon barley, a book was needed, no not that one, a different one. She hoped it was just her recent lack of sleep, but Julienne was increasingly convinced she might strangle one or the other of them.

Sr MJ: My dignity has been compromised enough.

Sr V: They wouldn’t put up with that attitude at the Mother House.

Sr J: No, they would not. And I will not put up with it here.

Sr MJ: You speak less like a Sister in the vowed life than a vexed parent of recalcitrant offspring.

Sr J: Which is not a coincidence! For that is exactly how I feel.

Sr MJ: Then I apologise.

Call the Midwife (2012) S12E1

It's April 1968 and change is coming to Nonnatus House. Racial tensions cast a shadow over Poplar, and the sisters welcome a new recruit.Nurses came to the assistance of a woman dying from cancer...

Here is Chapter 10 of She Was a Nun featuring Sister Veronica. There is a Season 2 Episode 8 flashback, then a jump to Season 12 Episode 1. I added on to the kitchen scene from the episode, which is cut in the American version and I only know about because I got the DVDs. This took a while as I don't feel like I know Sister Veronica very well yet (she has only been in two seasons!) but she does feel less strict as a nun than the ones I have previously covered so that led to this. PS yes there will be one more chapter.

“Show her ... that she has worth” 

Sister Monica Joan recommends that Sister Veronica demonstrates Sandy Talbot’s worth as a way of regaining her trust.

We all have worth.
