some tea before I make my decision?” She asked after finishing her silent
request and opening her eyes.
“I don’t know what exactly ‘tis that ye have to decide. I
told ye I be not sending the wagon out again. The next stage is in the mornin’.
An’ there’s not another inn within walking space even iffn’ you wanted to take
your life in your hands and walk there, so here is where you’ll stay in my
mind. I have naught against serving a lady tea before she retires, but it seems
ye could at least tell me that ye are stayin’ afore ya do,” the innkeeper
frowned.
“They said they would meet me here today. I just would like

The innkeeper frowned perplexedly. “It’ll be a little wait
for tea ‘til they get the man above stairs fixed up. When that’s done, me Mol
will return to the kitchen and fetch it for ye.”
“What happened to the man upstairs, if I may ask?” Emily
blushed. She realized a woman of her age and station should be able to restrain
her curiosity better, but it was late, and the uncertainty about her future led
her to seek something else on which to focus her mind.
