A Methodist! Of course. Mable nodded at the word, though she wasn't entirely sure the difference between that and any other branch of church. Even her tutor back in the states couldn't explain it well enough for her to understand, and she certainly wasn't going to bother Anne with the question. Perhaps father Brennan could help.
"Oh, Anne - Miss Anne, you can ask me anything you'd like!" Mable quickly reassured the girl, even if the question did make her a bit nervous. It was not an uncommon one to ask, she was quickly learning, but at least she was becoming more and more practiced at answering it.
"My parents are not with me, no. My brother and I are orphans, I suppose, but we're not on our own! Or, I'm not at least. My brother's old enough to be a young man, and he's very responsible. And you're right about it being a long way to travel, Miss Anne, you don't have a clue! I don't know how they managed to do it, but the ship we were on lost mine and my brothers things, too. How do you misplace one bag! It was very upsetting."
Still was, but Mable and her brother were making do. Did she more than one dress right now anyway..?
Yes.
Well, one day, she would have one hundred dresses, and she'd make sure to never lose a single one.
"What about you, Miss Anne? Do you have any brothers or sisters? And what are your thoughts on dresses?"
