Among the displaced people who used to wander in Richmond County and beg from house to house, there were still female displaced people with children. Also, Isabel Walton was kind enough to give some food and clothing to the female homeless, but this time she was very concerned about a female homeless woman she met in a monastery near the town of Ripon, Yorkshire, which had to be a little strange.

In fact, even she herself couldn't explain why she cared so much about an extremely ordinary female homeless person. Perhaps it was because she had the female homeless and her family walk alone from the town of Ripon to the Aske estate, or perhaps she loved the two children of the female homeless woman. In short, Dorothy Hurt, a homeless person she rescued, will repay her with a special gift for saving her life.

Isabel let out a sigh of relief when she heard the manservant's words, and as she handed the reins to the manservant, she asked, "Where did you find them?" ”

"Miss, your lord's squire was found near your Haswell manor."

"Well, I see, where are they now?"

"In the diner, miss."

"Well, that's good." Isabel walked contentedly towards the gates of the manor, and when she came to the drawing room, she saw Sir Augustine and his wife sitting in their seats and talking softly.

When she saw her valet Anne Cook standing on her side, she untied the belt around her waist and handed her the sword she was tied on, and came to her parents to salute, "Good day, father." ”

Later, he saluted his mother, Mrs. Antonia Walton. At this time, Antonia beckoned her daughter to sit beside her, "Child, when did you come back?" Did the gift for Lord Cumberland arrive? ”

"Mother, I returned to the county in the morning, and Lord Cumberland and Mrs. Cumberland were glad to receive the gifts. I also went to see Lord Cumberland's father and mother. ”

"Well, etiquette is a must, you didn't encounter any danger along the way, did you?"

"Mother, didn't John mention it to you when he came back?" Isabel wondered if her godson hadn't told her mother what had happened at the convent when she returned to the estate to change horses.

The fact that the Duke of Richmond gave himself and his wife, his retainers and the servants of the castle holidays and celebrated holidays did not mean that he could interfere with the work and life arrangements of all those who worked in the magistrate's court. As a result, two judges, including Sir Augustine, court clerks and all the members of the security forces still have jobs to work today.

At this moment, Sir Augustine had just returned to the estate from the court. During the pre-dinner break, he spoke to his wife about Isabelle's afternoon trip to the courtroom to inquire about the homeless and godson John. While the two were talking about Dorothy, a female homeless woman, their daughter returned from outside.

Although Sir didn't know anything about his daughter's journey to Skipton Castle, he could guess who or what would happen to her on the way. Picking up his wine glass, he glanced at his daughter, "Isabel, did you and John encounter robberies and violent criminals on the way to Lord Cumberland's castle?" ”

Isabel didn't want to go into all the details, but replied to Sir Ir, "Well, I met a couple of thieves and was chased away by me and His Highness's men." ”

Antonia looked her daughter up and down with concern, "Child, you're not hurt, are you?" ”

Isabel smiled and shook her head, "No, this time I brought 20 of His Highness's guards to Skipton Castle with John, how could I get hurt?" ”

"Well, it's good that you're not hurt, and remember to pray to God before you go to bed. Uh, what about John? Bruce told me that John had gone back to the manor in the morning to change horses, and had gone out again with a sword and spear, what was going on? ”

"Mother, John was not injured either, I told him to go back to the manor to change the horses and weapons."

Antonia still shook her head in confusion, and Isabel looked at her mother, who was a little dazed, and had to explain: "John wants to join the security army, so I have to agree that he go to the magistrate's court to ask the governor for permission. ”

Antonia glanced at her husband again, "Your Excellency, do you know?" ”

Sir Augustine nodded, "When John came to court, I was trying several cases. Later, it was the Governor who told me about John's visit to the court to ask him to join the vigilantes. ”

"John is still very young, how can he join the security army?"

"Don't worry, ma'am, John still needs the consent of me and Sir William to join the security army."

"May God bless John." Antonia looked at her daughter again, "Son, why didn't I see John come back?" ”

Isabel also wanted to know where John Neville was at the moment, but in fact she really didn't know, so she smiled at Madame, "Mother, John will be fine." I think he probably went to the county border with the patrol. ”

Antonia shook her head helplessly, and Isabel noticed that Jazz's eyes were focused on her face, so she asked Jazz who was sitting on her mother's side softly, "Father, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Sir Augustine knew Isabelle's character and her expertise well, and he was well aware of what his daughter called "driving away a few thieves". In front of his wife Antonia, the truth about blood, killing, and cruelty really doesn't have to be spoken. He glanced at his daughter, but nodded gently, "Child, John's matter can be talked about later." Now, can you talk to me, your mother, about the homeless woman who came to the manor in the afternoon? ”

A manservant brought Isabel a glass of ale, and she put it down after a few sips of the ale that was as light as water, "Father, mother, this outcast I met on my way to Skipton Castle. ”

Sir and Mrs. did not speak, but sat there quietly. Reflecting on the time she met Dorothy, Isabel smiled softly, "Father, mother, they were very pitiful at the time, and they probably hadn't eaten for a long time. So, after giving them some food, I wrote another letter asking them to come to the estate. ”

Antonia sighed softly, "May God Almighty have mercy on these poor people, forgive their sins, and give them eternal life." Amen. ”

When Mrs. Walton had finished reciting a confessional verse, Sir spoke slowly, "Son, if you really want to help this homeless family, you can give them food and shelter through work." ”

Isabel just smiled faintly, "This homeless woman may be educated, and she knows that I will send her and her family to work as hired laborers in the artisanal workshop. ”

Sir took a sip of cider from his glass and decided, "They can stay at the manor." However, they have to work. ”
