Dame Frevisse and Dame Claire are summoned from the nummary by the local midwife to assist in the delivery of a child though the mother dies. On the way back a woman's screams take them to the home of one of the woman who assisted at the birth. Her husband is dead from what all believe is an accident until Dame Frevisse takes a second look.This is a short story, but each character is fully developed by Margaret Frazer's wonderful style in THE MIDWIFE'S TALE. I only wish is was longer as it was finished much too soon.Nash Black, author of SANDPRINTS OF DEATH.
