Mr Green had called a carriage that waited in front of their house. To escape from her mother, Thea pulled Ruth out of the house and towards the carriage.
The coachman opened the door for them.
"Good evening, My Lady!" He bowed at her.
"Good evening!" Thea smiled at the man politely.
"Let me help you get in there." The man said and extended his hand for Thea to take.
"Thank you!" She said, then put her hand in his.
She gathered her flowy dress and put her feet on the step to enter the carriage. Ruth had her mind elsewhere. She looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. Furrowing her brows, she wondered what was wrong with the weather.
It was not rainy days in Vincardine, then how these dark clouds gathered in the sky?
"My Lady?" The coachman called to gain her attention.
"Huh?"
"Come on, Ruth. What are you waiting for?" Thea called her to get inside.
Nodding her head, Ruth adjusted her dress in her hand, and with the help of the coachman, she stepped inside the carriage.
