"You need a fire, make no mistake."
The head maid says and the younger girl frowns.
"The workers are in the kitchen so the fire is out, the only one that is stoked right now is in Master Edward's study."
The head maid frowns at this clearly not pleased by the idea of disturbing the master. However, Ruth's teeth were chattering and who knows what might happen to the babe if they didn't act.
"Go fetch a few wool blankets from the linen closet and meet me at the study, I will talk to the master."
Wrapping an arm around Ruth's shoulder she leads her to a small bed-chamber.
"Stay right here my dear."
The woman totters off returning a few moments later with a towel and a large robe.
"Unfortunately, we don't have anything on hand that will fit you. But we can get you dry and wrapped up in this and lay your clothes by the fire."
