The person inside the carriage appeared to have moved his face to looked at the girl who had smiled. After a moment, the hand moved away from the drape, letting it fall and hide his face. Right as the woman finished crossing, the carriage started moving again, disappearing from view in a few minutes.<br/><br/>The midwife still seemed annoyed by the sudden apparition. It wasn't about the man being wealthy. It was about him being new and a mystery. And now that foolish girl was starting to have ideas. Those girls were always full of new and strange ideas. And this one, already promised to marry a fine young man, and thinking of another one she didn't even know! Romantic nonsense.<br/><br/>As she shook her head and checked on the linens, the woman kept on with her ramblings. "You are not a child anymore, Jocelyn. You are a young woman, and you will be a married one soon. You must stop with foolish fantasies and start facing reality. Even if this marriage is not what you wanted, do listen to your father and try to make the best out of a bad situation. Poor girls don't get to be picky. That is, unless they want to be poor for the rest of their lives. You will never see a child starve, and you will help your family. This is what you should focus on.<br/><br/>The midwife planned to go on, but the arrival of a young man with the scared look of a new father on his face made her change her mind. "Let's go", she called out for Jocelyn. I want you to follow this birth, since you do not always get the chance to see twins being brought into this world, and I shall need help.<br/><br/>As the midwife asked for Jocelyn's help to collect all they would need so they could move quickly, the carriage finished its tour around the village and took the path back to the manor. As the young man who had bought the house got off his carriage and in the house, he gestured for his servant to come along. "I want to know about the single, suitable young ladies in the village", he stated firmly. The servant stopped walking. "In here, sir? But..." The man's voice took an angry undertone. "Yes, Jonah, in here. And yes, I am aware that I will not find a noblewoman here. Not even a wealthy one, very likely. I believe to be wealthy enough for two, and any woman can be instructed as for proper behavior."<br/><br/>The man stopped walking and took a deep breath. "Have Peter do it. He has more of a way with people. As for you, go out and fetch me the physician. I believe they must have one in this village. Now, go. Do not stand in there and stare at me like I am a mad man! Go!"
