"Aye," she agreed tiredly. The maid came in long enough to set the bags down, then she backed out to allow the pair privacy. She rummaged through one of the bags and came out with a crocheted blanket, a nappy, and a simple-looking piece of clothing that would keep him warm. At least Ruth had the wherewithal to make the things in question. First, she took Jacob from her mother for a moment to get him cleaned up. He immediately calmed down once the wet cloth was off of his skin. She gently placed him back into her mother's arms so she could see to her own needs, for not only had she gotten peed on, but nature caused her to soak the front of her blouse as well with milk due to the crying. She changed all of her clothing while she was at it, thinking it would be a good idea. Then the dirty clothes were packed away in the other bag and the doctor's belongings were set at the end of the couch as neatly as possible -- Ruth had become somewhat of a neat freak since the last time they had seen her. With a sigh, she said, "I could sleep for days. But I know that won't happen now that Jacob is here." She gave a hopeful smile, though brief.
