Mrs. Pearson gave a sad expression.  "I am so sorry for your loss."  She wanted to know how long ago it had been, but that did not pertain to the job at hand.  She spoke of liking children but did not mention any of her own.  Given that it was mentioned that she had been newly wedded when losing her husband, it was unlikely there had been time, though she had heard of it happening.

She started with the perks, so the young woman would know that Mr. Vaughn treated his employees very well, and expected quality work in response.  "Well, the basics of what you would be looking at if you were to take the job, are as followed.  You would have the option of renting a place in Whitby out of your wages, but have access to a horse or carriage to bring you to and from town each day included in your wages.  That given that we do not have much patience for tardiness."

"Or two, you can rent one of the rooms on one of the cottages with your wages on the property to share the cottage with a governess that will be hired soon as Miss Heidi turns five.  The young girl just had her fourth birthday, so you would have it by yourself for about a year should you take that option."

"Or third, you could request to rent one of the cottages on your own.  It is more expensive, of course, but you would have plenty of privacy, should you wish it.  There are two sizes, the one you would share if you go that route, both have three bedrooms, but the living spaces are the main difference.  All are modernized with gas and running water inside and a proper bathroom."  She explained.

"The horse/carriage is available no matter what option you chose on that.  We don't want people to feel trapped on the property."  She explained.
