Rose looked from Mr. Meijer to Benny, confused.

"I thought someone was injured?" The doctor said.

"Aye, Mr. Meijer got knocked by a door...." Rose said. She looked at Mr. Meijer for confirmation.

Mr. Meijer looked to the door, and then to Mr. Benjamin with arched brows, and then to the doctor with a sympathetic look.

"A chair broke earlier," he said uncertainly, as though he were looking for a way to make sense of Rose's story.

Benny nodded, "I was just cleaning it up. Were you injured when it broke?" He looked to Rose curiously.

Rose opened her mouth, closed it, opened it again, and looked from Benny to Mr. Meijer. "No..." she said. "Mr. Meijer was!"

"It seems my services are not required..." The doctor concluded.

"It seems not," Mr. Meijer agreed, for even lawyers avoided doctors.

"Thank you for coming, sir. Sorry it wasn't needed..' Benny said as he walked the doctor out and whispered, "She has been under a lot of stress. I guess it has been getting to her. Sorry again."

The doctor frowned. As Benny walked him to the door, he turned to Zech. "I suppose you keep a closer eye on your servants, ser. Is t' girl overworked?"

"No!" Rose said, so upset that she was close to tears.

"The work could be spread better," Mr. Meijer grudgingly admitted. "I will put an ad in the paper. Thank you, doctor."

Benny looked at Rose with pity and watched the doctor to leave. "I'll help when I can.."

Rose felt like someone had just hit her in the face. The doctor nodded and left. Rose turned to Mr. Meijer. "But ye were injured, ser..." she said weakly.
