Josephine smiled down at the young woman as she clasped her hands gently, kneeling in front of where she sat. She shook her head at the question. "You have done all I wish to ask of you. Thank you for your generous help." She helped the maid to her feet and glanced over towards the door as she heard footsteps barely over the crackling of the fireplace. She took a breath to calm her frazzled nerves and sighed quietly. Her attention returned to her maid and she gave another smile. "Go on, your work here is done. May you have a peaceful night." 'Unlike me. But I would want this no other way.'
