The Mystery of Edwin Drood Chapter 3 - The Nuns' House

In which the quaint and somnolent city of Cloisterham, steeped in the silence of its ancient Cathedral and monastic relics, plays host to the Nuns’ House—an institution presided over by the prim Miss Twinkleton, where the charming yet whimsical Miss Rosa Bud dwells under the watchful eye of her destined guardian and betrothed, Edwin Drood. As they navigate the delicate artifice of their engagement amidst youthful fretfulness and playful pretence, the subtle strains of solemn organ music and the shadow of ancient stones lend a weighty atmosphere to their tentative discourse and parting.
