<br/><strong>Barnabas excuses himself and bids farewell</strong><br/><br/>The note which Barnabas had written did not say much it was a simple address scribbled down on the paper, Barnabas bowed his head slightly before the Major and spoke once more as much as he disliked doing so.<em>“I shall bid you farewell then Major Tyler, perhaps we shall meet again if you have occasion to visit the Lady Rowena or the aforementioned address.” </em><br/><br/>Barnabas climbed up onto his horse and after a glance and nod towards the Major turned the creature and headed of, on his back from the Winterstone's estate he took the time to pause for a moment to attend to other orders. Writing a letter addressed to the Earl he informed in his usual short hand style the goings on of his daughter and affairs of the estate, sealing the note he headed for the local post office to see that it was on it's way before returning to the cottage in which Rowena was staying.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Rowena speaks with the girl</strong><br/><br/>Rowena smiled pleasantly to the young girl as she stared over at her intently curious as to her brightness and the unusual manner of her call,<em>“Yes of course young lady quite right, it is something you should consult your mother upon.” Rowena nodded to the girl at her question “Oh no dear, you shall not work that is in fact one condition I will not move upon. You must devote yourself fully to academic pursuits and the betterment of mind and soul, you will be sent to the finest schools given the best attention and of course I shall check upon your progress from time to time although perhaps not in person. I will allow for some time for you to see your family at the end of each year of coarse.”  </em><br/><br/>Rowena was certain that the girl probably did not entirely understand what Rowena was offering to her, she was sure she would have no idea of what Rowena would expect and that she may have some fanciful idea of how such might go. But she became distracted by the mention of the Winterstone's and regarded the girl again<em>“Your mother is right dear girl, and they are not your betters young lady. How do you know of them your mother does not work for them does she ?  And please speak freely do not allow others to bind your tongue before me.” </em>
