Nat gave a nod.  "I work hard when there is something that I like.  I don't like being crowded or handled."  She admitted rubbing her wrist when he let her go.  "And bad air.  With carrying coal or cleaning the chimnies at least I can get out in the air and change the work up."  She stated.  "I only steal when I didn't make enough to eat or get something I need.  Well, and a book from time to time."  She added to be honest.  She did like to read.

Glancing at the roll, she gave him a doubtful look, not sure where he was going with this.  She hesitantly took the roll and took a bite.  She was hungry.  "Yes.  Haven't had anything today."  She responded chewing the bite.  She knew better than to talk while chewing but she was hungry.  After swallowing, she did give a "thank you, mister."
