Ringmaster (Cape High Days Past Book 1)

“Tabitha,” she starts out, “is… yes, I believe she IS a super,” she says. “But whenever I tried to tell Bishop Frances that, he refused outright to believe it. I… I should not speak ill of anyone, especially a bishop, but he has his head so far up his—his KEESTER that he can’t see what’s under it!”

“That’s surprising,” Isotonic says, sitting when she motions to a chair. “I would think that even the clergy would have to accept our existence, by now. What, with how the Hall has practically blown up over the past few years.”

“Oh, he believes that supers exist,” she says, scoffing. “It’s not that. The problem is Tabitha—no, the true problem is Bishop Frances! He took one look at her the moment she started showing signs, and said it was clearly impossible!”

“Why was it impossible?”

“Because Tabitha just doesn’t LOOK like a super!” she says, her frustration showing as she throws her hands in the air. “What sort of Godly representative judges someone based on their—” she stops herself, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. Isotonic has a stunned expression on his face.

“How do you ‘not look’ like a super?” he asks after a moment. “I’m afraid I’m confused.”

“Tabitha is a little person,” Sister Agnes says.
