The next couple pages describes what the Boatwright sisters did after dinner. They would all kneel on the rug in front of the picture of the black Mary and say their prayers. Lily and Rosaleen find out how religious the Boatwright sisters are. They would all sit there with beads and repeat a saying over and over. When they were done they would cross themselves and this one night August started to talk to Lily. The story was about Beatrix the nun. August was telling Lily the story to make her understand that she knows Lily ran away and if she ever needed help Mary would be there for her. The next day August taught Lily how to take care of the bees. She told Lily never to swat or let out anger in a physical way towards them because they would get nervous and sting her. if she whistled it would warm the bees hearts. After taking care of the bees, August and Lily ended up at May's Wailing Wall, where she told Lily the story of May and her twin April. April had killed herself when she was 15 and August said that May felt every hurt that April ever felt. Overall August just wanted to tell Lily that May was a special girl who expressed herself in a very unique way. By Olivia

Lily realizes that the Boatwright sisters are more religious than she expected. August told Lily a story and tried to relate it to Lily because she knows that Lily ran away from home. The story she told was about a nun who ran away from her convent and felt lost and alone. She came back to visit the convent a few years later and asked if anyone by her name worked there, and Mary let her back into the convent. The message August was trying to get by was that Mary will always be there to help you when you need it, and sometimes returning home is the right way to go. After this, August took Lily to the bee yard to show her how to work in it and not get stung. August taught Lily about how the bees functioned and what each ones job was. When they got back to the house Lily saw that there were pieces of paper in the wall from May's doing. August tells Lily about how May is special and how she can get upset very easily. The reason why May is like that is because when she was four years old, her twin sister, April, died. This killed May inside and made her go practically insane and depressed. The sisters' mother also died, and when that happened August and June had to take care of May. August then tells Lilly about how each one of those papers have something written on them by May that are heavy feelings she has. At this moment, Lily has a heavy heart for May. Created by Abbie
