It had been two days that Ruth shifted in 'the great manor', and yet she was left with half of her things unpacked. Mrs Payne wanted to do it alone as she knew how busy Ruth was, but Ruth did not let her.
'No, Mrs Payne. You are already tired by sudden moving here. Only You and Thea were there for the packing and moving. I do not want you to tire yourself more. I will do the rest of the things.' Ruth had said.
Tonight, Elsie allowed Ruth to go two hours early so that, she could have some rest and look after the remaining things. Ruth was glad for that.
She came home and changed her uniform into a simple and comfortable loose white nightgown. After dinner, she gave Mrs Payne her medicines and, send her to sleep.
