Pony glared and shook his head. "Tell me, why can't you wait? I don't think it's a hard question. Are you pregnant by that clock maker and you don't want him finding out? O swear, ever since you just gave yourself over to that first bastard you have been unable to spend a season without trying to get a man. Your first one hadn't even been dead a year before you replaced him with someone you only now claim not to have loved. If you are going after men to get their money and murder them, then tell me. At least then I'll think you might be competent."

He said angrily and merely looked at the child then back.
