Jessy swears by it and said that it's better than the water, it's been raining and the wells are muddied.<br/>There is mutton and chicken under the cloth and fresh bread."<br/><br/>Sonja's direct question was answered simply.<br/>"I am to see to your needs M'Lady, you are only to ask....."<br/>Ursa paused before adding quietly.<br/>".....but if I am not sure about things I have to ask Barron Ingram, or even His Majesty if he is nearer...."<br/><br/>Ursa blushed a little at this, it seemed the young woman had a little crush, though it was unclear whether it was Ingram or Borghast who had caught her fancy.
