After talking with Thea, she and Ruth had decided to start afresh. Now the gloominess and guilt in Ruth's heart had disappeared, but the stains remained, which would be cleaned only after talking with Rees.
After giving her thoughts some time when Ruth looked back at that day in 'the great manor', she realised how wrong it was on her behalf to jump on to the conclusions. Rees didn't even get a chance to explain himself.
Now only Ruth realised, why he did not want her in 'the great manor'. He knew his master. He knew how arrogant man he was. But Ruth couldn't understand him then.
She needed to talk with Rees, or she would never forgive herself. But she didn't dare to face him.
With those thoughts running in her mind, she reached her apartment building about the time, the Sun bidding goodbye for the day. She had promised Mrs Payne to prepare tonight's dinner. Also, she was eager to see Mr Payne and see, if there was any improvement in his condition.
