Nat listened and then glanced over to the stairs that Alice had just taken.  "Poor lady.  Whatever it is." 

Nat wondered how long the couple had been married.  Was this how Alice had always been?  Surely not.  After all, why get married and have a baby if not in love?  Questions that she would likely never get answers to.  She looked back to Jenny.

"I'll go back to Whitby and continue as I were, I suppose.  Unless Mr. Appleton makes my secret known around town.  Then I'll have to find another town.  I don't have a regular job now and will be living on the street or in a shack around town that is empty.  I will find odd jobs around town again and keep trying to save up to get a room steady like and try to find a regular kind of job as a woman.  But women are taken advantage of if they live on the streets.  There are some jobs I don't want to be doing." Prostitution to be specific, but she didn't want to mention that.
