"The test for Humanity can take many forms, so let your senior Sister decide the best form. In any event, a great deal of non-injurious pain is required. It must be something that makes the Postulant question herself at a very deep level. If she can withstand the pain and humiliation with grace and self-control, then she has passed. In any case, the ordeal is to be kept a secret by all parties involved."

"You do like my doll, don't you, Heidi?
I can see it in your dear little sparkling eyes!"

"Oh, yes, I do, Clara.  She's a very beautiful doll!"
And I do hope you walk again, Clara!  Oh, I do!
