The time was passing fast yet, Ruth could not get over the four books that she had found in the cupboard. She indirectly tried asking Mrs Payne about it, but as expected, her answers did not satisfy Ruth.
Her nightmares were another story. No matter what she tried, they did not allow her to get any peaceful sleep. Those images kept chasing her sanity, and she was afraid of losing it sooner or later if those nightmares did not stop.
Ruth sighed first, then yawned by opening her mouth a hippo's size. She was in a dire need of good sleep.
"Ruth"
"Yes, Lady Elsie?" Ruth stood up after seeing Elsie walking her way. She was sewing Elsie's favourite scarf that was torn in a corner.
Elsie pointed at the table to her right side.
"I have finished reading those books. Please take them into the library and put them on their right place. They are from father's collection and I want to return them before father gets mad at me for the delay."
