Iris's happiness didn't last long. The very next day, Benjamin was already busy in his study, sending only Gilda to make her tea. At least he was thinking of her even when he had so much work.
When Gilda came with the tea, Iris drank it gladly, inquiring about the girls' training. The maid assured her lady that both she and the housekeeper were doing their best to find the girls adequate jobs for their skills.
Eira was training under Mary and Daisy, serving Iris everyday and the lady was very much pleased with her. She tried her best in every situation and was a quick learner. Soon the little girl will turn into a young woman and then Iris would be sure to give her a whole wage.
