Was this woman some sort of mourning miracle, walking in here in her nice black dress and bearing good news?
Briar lifted her head enough to get a proper look at her. Still kept it angled so as to keep her gaze pointed up at the woman, rather than down at her, in case she was one of those ladies that insisted on such things. Her smile at least looked real, and that was more than could be said for plenty others.
"I don't mind," Briar answered with haste. She'd been passed over for too many other jobs to let much of anything deter her.
"Meals and a room are more than enough for me, miss, so I could stay with you as much as you'd prefer, should you decide to hire me."
The woman gestured to the door, and Briar was in motion. Carefully stepping out of her way, she pushed open the door and held it for the lady to walk out.
"My name is Briar Godfrey," she said. "What should I call you, miss?"
