"My plans?" Carnevon sat back in his seat. "At present, I have none for you. The next few days, I'd like you to settle in and get used to your new surroundings. You've expressed an interest in some manner of employment. That is entirely up to you. I expect no repayment for anything. That I am able to give you the chance to rise from where you began is suffcient.
"If you would like to continue your education, that is an option for you. Emilie is fluent in French and German, with a smattering of Dutch. Gerard, who you met last evening, speaks Welsh, Cornish and both Scottish and Irish Gaelic. He also has some use of Newtonian mathematics. Everyone within these walls is more than they appear."
As he spoke, Charlotte was partaking of the breakfast that sat in front of her. She seemed famished. Afterward, she regretted having eaten quite as much as she had and excused herself. However, her collapse brought Carnevon from his seat and to her with a speed that would have seemed otherworldly if she had witnessed it.
Carnevon called for the member of his household who possessed medical knowledge and together, they got Charlotte to her room, where her restrictive clothing was removed and she was placed on the bed. Carnevon sat by her side until she woke.
