Nat heard the noise at the fireplace and blinked sitting up.  Wiping her eyes to clear the sleep from them, she felt exhausted.  The last evening had been horrible.  She instantly remembered the whole scene and all that was said.  She sighed and got up.

"Good morning, Jenny."  She glanced over and then started folding the blankets that she had used.  She wondered if she would have time to get that letter from Alice before she had to go.  She would have to stall as long as she could to get it.
