Rowena found that she was pleasantly surprised by Major Tyler's acceptance of her, he seamed remarkably capable of pleasant conversation which was something she found few gentlemen, especially those of a military background wished to waste time on.  Rowena face flushed a little more with color and the memories of how Barnabas had reacted when she had once attempted such conversation with him threatened to make her laugh.<br/><em><br/>"Alas I can't say that I have truly saved the lives of any of those I employ myself, I can't say I am that familiar with my help either they have not been with me all that long.  Only Barnabas has and he is not a servant or in my employ, he is a long standing family friend and he has been there on many of the travels with my Father sadly since the accident he is a changed man."</em><br/><br/>Rowena smiled and decided to be a bit more bold having heard the Major's comments<em>"I am glad that my presence here is welcome and pleasing at least to one then,  tell me Major Tyler what is your opinion on the matter of us of the fairer sex and if we should be permitted to see such sights such as the preserved husk of the poor fellow who awaits us this night ?"</em><br/><br/>Rowena was careful to keep her voice down as she did not want to capture the attention of all in attendance especially the hosts, but she was hoping it may stir up some questions and conversation. Personally she could not understand the clear double standards, she knew not all held the same opinions and she wondered if there was something more to this matter than was being told. Why was there such reluctance to allow the women to see something viewed merely as an object for entertainment and the highlight of the evening, maybe they thought that women like herself might object to it in some way and consider it a vile practice.<br/><br/><em>"I  do find the comforts of home pleasant myself, I shall travel again sometime I think however there are places I believe I would still like to see with my own eyes."</em>
