Edgar felt just as distressed as Evelyn. It was a terrible feeling to know that he had caused Jocelyn to be shunned by her father. Wrapping his arms around Evelyn, he promised he wouldn't let her sister be homeless or go without. With a kiss on her head, he tried to comfort the girl the best he could. He was completely sure he would never allow Jocelyn to suffer for  his decision.<br/><br/>At the manor, Samuel was completely confused. Why on Earth was the girl out in such a cold day without anything to warm up?<br/><br/>As Jocelyn started telling her story, he listened closely. It was not in Samuel's nature to express emotion in very evident ways, but it was clear by a slight change in his overall expression and the way his hand gripped the cane harder that he was not happy at all with that situation. "This is... preposterous, insane". His voice was kept in a low volume, but it didn't sound soft as usual. "This man - you can't actually call him a father - is insane. You will be better off away from him."<br/><br/>He paced back and forth for a while. He couldn't throw the girl back out there. But he couldn't simply get her in his house and be done with it. Not for him - nobody knew him anyway - but for the sake of her reputation. She needed to keep it clean, after all. Walking to the entrance of the hallway, he called for Peter and talked to the man in a hushed voice for a moment. Samuel soon returned with a warm blanket, which was carefully wrapped around Jocelyn's shoulders. He was very serious as he looked at her. "Would you be offended if I offered you a position on my staff? It is the best I can think of at the moment. You would be provided with quarters, clothing and food, as well as decent pay." The man cleared his throat. "I know it is not much of an offer for a young lady such as yourself. But it is what I can offer while I can't find anything better."
