William London is a student in Sister James’s class. When he gets a nosebleed at the beginning of the play, Sister James sends him to Sister Aloysius’s office. Sister Aloysius, in turn, sends him home, though she later tells Sister James that William may have given himself a nosebleed on purpose. This, Sister Aloysius says, is the kind of behavior that Sister James has to be on the lookout for.
