Josephine wanted to argue, say that she wanted to help and try to convince Raoul to let her do something, anything to aid him. But she held that urge back for the moment. It could be voiced when they were by themselves, without the judgement of the rest of the household hanging over every word that was spoken. She shook her head at them mention of her being hidden away where he did not know. She didn't want to be separated from Raoul, unable to see him at all through the entire plan. It would be miserable for her. "That may be a grand idea, now that your father has caught sight of Josephine. He knows exactly who he is looking for, and many a peasant around here would give us away if offered a price for their troubles. We cannot have her here if that should occur." "But where shall I go? Be locked away somewhere alone?" "If it does come to that, I will stay with you." Madam William offered, smiling. "Out of the three left behind, I am the weakest, truth be told. You would need my company more than my husband and Alyx do."  Josephine nodded, then glanced back at Raoul as he spoke again. "But I know you won't run. You are no coward, and honest as anyone with a pure intent."
