(2) 4-6 Before her arrival at the Bonesetter's abode where she is to take up residence and labor, Matilda's life with Father Leufredus was steeped in prayer, and her very seriousness accounts for much of the novel's humor. In an afterword Cushman reveals her concern that her research on the medicine of the day not overwhelm her story; the truth is, this information is just as interesting as Matilda's tale.
