Sister Epiphany Brisquette had worked all her life at the Saint Gavin the Obtuse Memorial Hospital and meat processing plant. Built in the early 19th century and situated atop Tenaron hillock in Trevagary Cornwall, over a supposed entrance to the nether-world; its maternity ward was a closely guarded secret. (due in no small part to the wholly unnatural appearance of too many of the births for the entrance to the nether-world to be supposition.)
It was a job she found incredibly rewarding spiritually. She just knew she was doing good work. It gave her an enormous sense of well-being bringing these NEW little ones into the world. Usually rejected by their horrified birth mothers, she also relished finding them new homes and surrogate parents too.
What a horrifying idea and illustration, but you can totally see what you've explained in her demeanor. GREAT illustration!
