Eveline was delighted with her new little boy Asher, he was the miracle she had been hoping for and with his birth brought her new hope that the large family she had always dreamed of wasn’t to far out of her reach.
When she fell pregnant again she was overjoyed, but even she had to admit it would be tougher this time with little Asher to care for as well and started to consider that she could use more help. They had some girls from the village that came into cook and clean but what Lady Eveline really wanted was someone who would live and in and could be trusted with her precious baby.
This in mind she sent word for Sister Madeline to visit her. Eveline was a staunch supporter of the local church and would often hand over monetary gifts to help with their work for the poor. Sister Madeline arrived looking quizzical and was shown into Lady Eveline’s bed chamber where she was reclining on her bed as per doctor’s orders.
“Thank you for your prompt response to my message” began Lady Eveline “I want to ask you a favour, I am again with child, God be praised and I could use some extra help with Asher and it struck me that perhaps your novice Lyndsay may be persuaded to live with us for a while to provide extra help” She continued “She would be well paid and allowed time off, is there anyway you could spare her?”. Lady Eveline had seen Lyndsay hard at work in the church and heard from Sister Madeline of her devotion to duty and fear of God and believed she was just the sort of person she was looking for.
“I am sure she would be happy to come and offer assistance in your time of need, in fact I was hoping to get her a situation in the village, Lyndsay has lived a lot of her young life in the church and I feel she would benefit from being about more in the world” replied Sister Madeline. Lady Eveline was delighted and replied “I am so glad, she will be invaluable to me at this time, I won’t forget yours or her kindness. Please send her round when she is ready”
This settled Sister Madeline went home to tell Lyndsay the news. Lyndsay was excited at the prospect but also a little concerned. She was going to under the same roof as the nobleman that left Sarah pregnant. However it was all decided and it wasn’t long before she was off to her new home not knowing what it might bring.

I’m so glad Eveline is having good luck! It’s great she is pregnant again! She might get her dream after all! I’m so glad Lyndsay knows what Lord Marquis is like with the ladies so she is prepared for him. I wonder if she lets it slip that Sarah had his baby! Things are going to get very interesting in the house! What if Lyndsay falls for him! That would be a very strange turn of events! It is going to be very interesting in seeing how Lyndsay gets on in the world outside the nunnery! I can’t wait for the next episode!
