Except Cathy, she says "No. She mightn't tell. Sister Virginia mightn't" Brigit plans her escape by jumping into a basket ("I'm going out now! In the basket! Come on! Quick! Help me!" ) and Cathy is begging for Brigit to let her go with her but Brigit is Adamant on going alone. Then as there were screaming Mother Victoria comes in and ruins it by telling Brigit to get out of the basket.]]> 2019-03-20 08:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/MsEgan/otbz7saosck4/wish/343213022 https://padlet.com/MsEgan/otbz7saosck4/wish/343213024 The closing paragraph is read by Sister Virginia and tells us over three hundred women (including Cathy McNamara) that died at the laundry were exhumed, cremated and reburied outside in Killmacha in 1992 to make place for a building development. It also tells us that Mandy was put into a Mental Institution in 1963 and was still there by 1992.]]> 2019-03-20 08:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/MsEgan/otbz7saosck4/wish/343213024 https://padlet.com/MsEgan/otbz7saosck4/wish/343213081 The girls find the underwear with the red hearts on them.

Shows men as vulgar and rude. Cathy wonders why Sister Virginia ever wanted to become a nun and Brigit believes that sister Virginia is just terrified of men "She's probably afraid of men".

The horrible treatment that the missioners gave the nuns, fire and brimstone is a reference to God's wrath in the Bible

''I often think about Our Lady the time she got pregnant! Did the neighbours point at her too?''
Nellie-Nora wonders if Mary got the same treatment that the rest of them did, when they discovered she was pregnant

''But she had Saint Joseph! Didn't he stay with her!''
Mandy suggests that Mary wouldn't have been judged because she was with a man

I'll pray for you Brigit!"
"Pasty Face"
"Pretending to help"
"Brigit Murphy here sees through you!"
"Did you ever have a lover? Tell us that now, Sister!"
Brigit finally snaps and stands up for herself and the other girls to the mistreatment and judgement they get. 
She screams at Sister Virignia for pretending to care but not doing anything to help them.

There is irony as Brigit says 'And they think we're the dirty ones'.

Also Brigit describes sexual harrasment that occured

'Squeezing through the dance-hall door was awful! When you'd be in the crush, some big hand would come out and grab you!'

'Sounds Daft to me, Cathy! Staying in this dungeon with that cage on her head!'
Juliet says she wants to become a nun but Brigit says she can't because of her mother.
'Sure, they wouldn't have Juliet! Her mother was one of us!'
The girls find lipstick and and start to put it on one another but Nellie-Nora distances herself from them.

Brigit: "Why aren't our lover boys locked up too?"

Brigit then throws Sister Virginia on the floor
(Nellie-Nora is still sobbing and rocking on the floor from earlier in the scene) 

Brigit: "Your nice white bed in your nice white cell" "Nice clean God"

Brigit: "We want to live now"

Sister Virginia : "I want to help, Brigit! I am on your side"

Brigit: "I'd kill you but you're not worth it"
