Nat's eyes went cautious, and all the more concerned.  The woman did not need to be around a baby, not like that.  Who was taking care of the baby?  Jenny?  Another maid?  Jenny had been with her in the kitchen the few times she had heard the baby cry.  Had to be another maid, as Mrs. Appleton had been outside the first time she had met the woman, and Jenny had been in the kitchen when the baby was heard upstairs.  So, perhaps a nanny?

Anyway, she needed to help the woman that had arranged for her own staying there.  With a job?  What would she be doing?  She couldn't sleep in the living room, nor out in the loft in the barn now with her secret out.  So many questions still to sort through, but he owed this woman, and he would get her letter out.  "I can do that.  I can walk to the nearest post office in town here.  You write it and get me the money to post it and I will do it, ma'am."
