Benedict of Peterborough, Miracles of St Thomas Becket
book III, chapter 77 (abridged)
She blamed the saint because she remained lying there while her sister departed. … And when she wept with a loud cry, the pious father was moved. He visited her in her sleep on the following day and restored her health in the same manner as he had the first. With the repetition of the miracle, praise to God and joy to the people were doubled.
