Back to Work

  I decided yesterday, Saturdai, that I have been in sadness long enough and came out of my chamber to help Brigid with the work. Poor Brigid was shocked to see me doing chores and inquired about my health. I smiled and gently kissed her cheek and told her I was fine and that I should be doing my share of the work. I also told that as we are late into the fall that there is a lot to be done before winter sets in and my help is needed. I also asked for Brigid's forgiveness at being selfish. She smiled and kissed my cheek and said yes she forgave me. Poor darling wiped her eyes with her apron.

  We put the kitchen and larder in order, beat rugs with our brooms,cleaned the furniture in our sitting area swept and  then we swept and washed the floor.


  We were so tired after our work was done Brigid could hardly move. So I saw to Brigid to make sure she was comfortable in her chair by the fire and gave her a warm drink and helped her with her stole so she could keep warm. Once Brigid was settled I once again started working on my forgotten embroidery.

  I believe it can be stated that the Lady M of Gisborne is slowly returning to her normal self.
