indriAssume, for the sake of it, that I know very little about organised religion. All my memories of Sunday school involve colouring in Joseph's coat.
So how long would one spend in a convent before one could take holy orders? What might the preparation involve? Could anyone point me towards a URL or book on life in mid-Victorian nunneries? My google skills seem to be failing me tonight and I want to get back to the writing.

I'm sending you an email about this to pick your brains a bit and have a bit of discussion. I considered posting it here, but then I'd spoil my entire reading audience for the story and not just my beta.
