Mending the Duke

Laura was completing her purchases for the orphanage she had grown up in from the age of 4 after her parents death. She had been lucky because Mary the mistress of the orphanage had hired her to work there after reaching the age where she should have been put out in the world to make her own way. Mary wa d strict and had no good feelings for the 12 girl orphans at all. Laura did her best to protect and show the girls love and care. As she stepped back in the kitchen she was told by cook that Maury wanted her in the office. After stepping into the office she saw a well dressed lady talking with Mary. After the introductions were finished she was shocked at what the lady had suggested. She left the office with fear and wondered about her future and one of the orphans coming with her.
