Zachary's eyebrows shot up in surprise when the unseemly woman stepped forward and spoke in flawless English.  "Your English is quite impeccable, may I ask where you learned it?"  Zachary averted his eyes from her, her lack of modesty was most upsetting but he wasn't about to mouth off and get attacked by those defending her for his troubles.  The Lord protected his lambs but he made exceptions for those too stupid to live.  "But yes, I mean you no insult and I thank you for your most generous offer."  Zachary was unsure of the proper gesture for thanks, settling instead to bow slightly to the woman.<br/><br/>When he straightened up, Zachary gestured for his wife and daughter to follow him.  "Come now, they've been generous to let us into their homes.  It would be rude not to accept."
