Cecilia

Cecilia is the innkeeper, owner of the local inn and the widow after Norbert. Short after his death, without having the proper time to mourn, Hugues has become increasingly annoying. He keeps bothering her about how an inn without a man cannot work and that she should consider that. She’s almost afraid to be in the same room with him. Luckily, there’s been enough work lately to keep them both busy, so that there’s no time for Hugues to be too pushy. Anyways, she’s got to figure out what to do, soon. Add to that the troubles with Mathilde!
But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than any mortal. Why do you complain to him that he responds to no one’s words? For God does speak — now one way, now another — though no one perceives it. Job 33, 12-14
