Edda's body language is pretty good in the second panel, although that's a lot of hair covering her face. Is her head tipped to the side? Did her hair fall down to cover her face? Is her head tipped so far down that her hand is on the top of her head and her chin is pushed into her chest? I'm not sure but other than that the body language is pretty good.

Something's been bugging me for a while now. I'd really like to know what religious order Sr. Steven and the other Sisters belong to. They aren't cloistered, which means they aren't nuns. They aren't Dominicans, Carmelites, or Franciscans as those Orders don't wear blue - Sisters dedicated to The Virgin Mary wear blue.

They wear a relatively short black veil lined in white, no coif, and black cardigans instead of guimpes (cloaks). Their hair isn't visible. Instead of a tunic and scapular they wear high-necked long-sleeved white blouses beneath light blue jumpers (sleeveless overdresses). The jumper neckline is square, not a V, and not a buttoned vest. They wear crosses on long chains. They don't have rosaries or crosses hanging from a belt. They don't even seem to be wearing belts? It's hard to tell. Their skirts come to mid shin, not floor length.

There's no real need to question this, to find an answer, I'm just curious.

Anyway, Edda and Amos have been discussing conceiving a child for a week's worth of strip but the word "conceiving," especially in relation to Amos, disgusts her.
