He patted his arm. "She will when she realizes how much you needed it. "

"I think she understands I can't stay." He finished making the sandwich. "But I still feel bad for leaving her to be the eldest at home... She tried to stop me last time." He looked at the constable. "Want me to make you one?"

Elijah waved him off. "I'll be fine. And I think she will be ok. I think.. Ben may have to come to terms with the fact his kids might not be able to keep things going. Rose can't go fishing like you have. And Bram and Will are far too young. "

"'E'll make Will go. He won't have a choice." Simon still felt guilty over that. "But I'll work hard in York and earn money to send home... maybe I can even help Alice go to college when she finishes school."

Elijah hung his head. He felt awful, there was nothing he could do to help the kids. "That would be nice if you could. The kids deserve a better life. I am sure Ben wishes he could but this is all he knows."

"He allowed Alice to stay in school, so that's som't." Simon had to admit. "If she manages to become a teacher, that would make her life a lot more comfortable, at least."
RE: Running out of time - Elijah Crane - 01-26-2020
"Yes, it would be wonderful. I will support her and hope she becomes a teacher. I think it would make her happy."

Simon smiled. "Thanks, Elijah."
RE: Running out of time - Elijah Crane - 01-26-2020
Elijah smiled back. "You're welcome. " He put down the plates of their breakfast. "Eat up!"
RE: Running out of time - Jack - 01-26-2020
Simon sat and ate hungrily. He hadn't eaten much yesterday. "So I will see you at the station shortly before four, right?"
