Seduced by the Squire (closed for cumnchat)

[Opensesame54321]

Bridget woke up when Carrie closed the door. She knew that she didn't mean to, but Bridget sat back up, her breast still uncovered. Her mind played over her last talk with Joshua. He seemed to have truly regretted what had happened, or what he had considered doing. But what he was going to have to understand was that she was no longer going to be his whore, or his bedwarmer. If she was going to stay, she would only stay as his wife.

That he was suddenly again knocking at her door was a surprise, as it really had not been all that long that he went downstairs to see the solicitor. But here he was, his face flushed and a cross between excitement and worry as he told her what the solicitor wanted.

What shall I do if I am truly his heir? It is not unreasonable to assume that most of his wealth he had accumulated through nefarious affairs and if I accept I will be embroiled as well, on the other hand I, that is, We, could help those poor girls in his household. I am at a complete loss my love.

Bridget remembered the maids that she had seen while she had been. The scared looks, the whispered words, the fear and beaten down looks that they had. They had been unfortunate enough to be servants at Isaac's house of horrors.

"I do have an idea. Why not turn the house into some kind of finishing school? Give those female servants a chance to learn something that will give them a chance to get a better job. Even help them get better jobs once they graduate. Make that part of the deal. Maybe Estelle would run it.

 

[cumnchat]

The more he thought about Bridget's idea the more sense it made but he had his own ideas as well.

"Excellent my love, but perhaps some of them prefer not to stay and wish to return home, we should provide them with, shall we say a hundred pounds and let them do as they wish? Then there are those who know nothing else but the life of being a plaything, how would they cope? That Estelle should run it is an excellent idea, look how she transformed you from a country bumpkin, excuse me saying so but you were a rough diamond when we first met, to a refined young lady that any man would be proud to have as his wife."

Joshua realised what he had said and immediately tried to hide his confusion for deep in his heart he did want Bridget to become his wife.

"I must go Bridget, I must not tire you, we will discuss this more when we are certain of the inheritance."

He kissed Bridget quickly and hurried from the room. Once outside he leant against the wall sweating profusely, worried that letting his tongue run away with him had ruined his chances of Bridget accepting him as her husband.

 

[Opensesame54321]

She was pleased when he seemed to like her idea, and agreed with his additions to it.

Excellent my love, but perhaps some of them prefer not to stay and wish to return home, we should provide them with, shall we say a hundred pounds and let them do as they wish? Then there are those who know nothing else but the life of being a plaything, how would they cope? That Estelle should run it is an excellent idea, look how she transformed you from a country bumpkin, excuse me saying so but you were a rough diamond when we first met, to a refined young lady that any man would be proud to have as his wife.

Her heart pounded at his words, for she had decided that that was the only way that she would stay. And then suddenly, he was leaving.

I must go Bridget, I must not tire you, we will discuss this more when we are certain of the inheritance.

And with a kiss, he left and she wondered if he would be back tonight or not, the way he rushed out.

Down the hall, Carrie watched the Master's reaction upon coming out of Miss Bridget's room. She shook her head. For being so intelligent, the man could certainly be an idiot sometimes.

She waited until Master Joshua headed off down the hall, down the stairs and headed to his office. She went in and clucked over her charge, helping Miss Bridget to redress and lay back against the pillows. She then went to talk to Cook to arrange for Miss Bridget's evening meal. Miss Bridget had told her that starting tonight Joshua would be back to sharing a bed with her and that she was a bit apprehensive.

"If some'em 'urts, or is uncomforble, just tell 'im no. 'll stop."

Bridget nodded and ate her meal, looking forward to tonight and yet...

 

[cumnchat]

Ensconced in his study Joshua went over recent events in his head but the one thought that kept returning was that he had virtually given Isaac carte blanche to half kill his beautiful Bridget, if he couldn't forgive himself how could she? True, they were kissing and he was to share her bed this very night but could he expect her to welcome him as her lover as if nothing had happened? His dilemma was that if he paid no attention to her warm shapely body lying so close to him she might think that he no longer wanted her as she was spoiled goods, all this despite his declarations of love for her. He knew them to be true but the workings of a woman's mind had not been fathomed by men much wiser than he.
The other side of the coin was, if he attempted to make love to her as he so dearly wanted to would she spurn him declaring him a sex obsessed fellow with no regard for her feelings?
One way or another he would find out tonight if his future included Bridget even though they had briefly discussed working together on the idea of a finishing school. In order to ward off accusations from Bridget of being uncaring of her feelings he decided that instead of sleeping naked as he usually did he would wear a nightshirt to cover himself and let Bridget decide what action to take.

He let himself out of his study and went in search of Dougan to give him instructions to find a suitable nightshirt for him. Dougan however was busy elsewhere and he found Carrie just passing the time with looking at a picturebook.

"Ah Carrie I cannot find that big lump of a husband of yours,"

He smiled to show that he was being flippant and not meaning one derogatory word.

"Would you be so kind as to find a nightshirt to cover my modesty when I join Miss Bridget tonight."

Carrie tossed her head back and spoke with real concern,

"If that's yer wish then I'll do yer biddin' but if y'ask me Miss Bridget would much prefer t'see yer n'ked, not that oi'd mind either but oi got Dougan, can't you two get it through yer thick 'eads yer both crazy about each other, p'raps yer should consider makin' an 'onest woman of 'er, she ain't gonna ask yew as it's not Valentine's day 'til next year."

She closed her mouth as she realised she had overstepped her position yet again.

"Carrie, for one so young you have a wise head on those pretty shoulders, I will consider it but not a word to Miss Bridget."

"'Course not Sir."

Carrie could hardly contain her excitement as she took Bridget's afternoon tea to her.

 

[Opensesame54321]

That evening, Carrie began preparing Miss Bridget for bed. She helped her to sit in front of the mirror and brushed Miss Bridget's hair until it gleamed. She then helped her back over to the bed and began to remove Bridget's nightgown.

"Wait, Carrie. Joshua.."

"Oi knows, Miss. 'e sleeps wif yew tonight."

"But he will think me a loose woman..."

"Don't be silly! 'e was there. 'e knew that yew took me place." She looked at the fading scars and welts, the bruises that were left were at the yellow stage and would soon be gone. What worried Carrie were the unseen scars that could be a problem. But she had faith in the two of them.

Carrie held the gown in her hand, and gave Miss Bridget a kiss upon her cheek.

"Yew know that yew luv 'im. An' yew knows that 'e luvs yew. Tha tew uv yew belongs t'gether."

"But I don't want to be his bedwarmer. Carrie," Bridget spoke as she carefully climbed into bed. "I originally came here against my will. But the longer I was here...," Bridget stopped.

"Yew fell in luv wif 'im. An' Oi knows that 'e fell in luv wif yew. Tonight, let your 'eart speak ta 'is. An' listen ta 'is 'eart speak ta yew."

Bridget nodded and smiled as Carrie laid her back on the bedding. Bridget's full breast were above the covers, framed between the long auburn curls that tumbled on either side of the pair of rosy nipples.

Carrie smiled back and turned the lights down low so that Miss Bridget lay in the seductive light. Carrie gave a last look as she closed the door, leaving Miss Bridget waiting for Joshua.

*****

Carrie lay in Dougan's arms, having just once again gone to the moon and back with him. He held her in his strong arms and she felt so safe and loved in them.

"Luv, Oi 'opes yew luvs me. 'Cause if'n Oi'm rite, we've got comp'ny comin' in 'bout 8 months."

 

[cumnchat]

As bed time drew near Joshua became more nervous, how should he behave? As prim and proper expecting and demanding nothing? Or should he tease Bridget, make her laugh and kiss her? Should he take her in his arms and make love to her as though nothing had happened?
Thinking it would not be proper to dress for bed in front of Bridget he changed into his night clothes in the guest room next door and looked at himself in the full length mirror and gave a wry smile, he looked just like the fellow from the children' rhyme Wee Willie Winky.

'At least, dressed like this she cannot possibly think that I intend to seduce her.' he thought before taking a candle and ensuring there were no servants about to see him he left the safety of the guest room and knocked on the door of Bridget's room and called out.

"May I come in dear, if you are decent?"

He thought he heard a muffled response and entered the dimly lit room, all he could make out was the shape of Bridget lying half propped up on the pillows. As he drew nearer he could see that Bridget's breasts were bare and she was making no attempt to cover them.

"I,,,,,I am sorry my dear I thought that you were decent and ready for me to enter." he stammered his eyes firmly fixed on the rosy pink nipples atop each breast.

Joshua tried, he really tried but was unable to control his erection as it grew under his nightgown and made its presence obvious.

He tried to jest his way out of his embarrassment, saying

"I feel so foolish dressed like this, I am certain there are no children's stories about the meeting of Wee Willie Winky and the beautiful princess so what would you have me do?

 

[Opensesame54321]

Finally she heard a knock at the door and muffled words from the other side. It had to be Joshua and she called out for him to enter.

The sight was hilarious! Joshua wandered in dressed like something from a weird children's book.

I,,,,,I am sorry my dear I thought that you were decent and ready for me to enter. I feel so foolish dressed like this, I am certain there are no children's stories about the meeting of Wee Willie Winky and the beautiful princess so what would you have me do?

She could see his manhood starting to tent the nightgown, and before she knew it she was laughing at the absurdity of it all. It was a true laugh, releasing the pressure of any stress that she felt.

When she finally looked back up at him, she took a breath and then spoke.

"For heaven sakes, take that ridiculous thing off and come to bed. If I'm nude, then you must be nude too."

 

[cumnchat]

Josh knew he looked ridiculous the way he was dressed but still he advanced towards Bridget lying provocatively with her breasts naked above the sheets, he saw her breasts begin to shake and she giggled before breaking into gales of laughter her breasts jiggling wildly, her face broke into a radiant smile as she laughingly said,

'For heaven sakes, take that ridiculous thing off and come to bed. If I'm nude, then you must be nude too."

It seemed at that moment all his fears and worries disappeared and he lost no time in divesting himself of his nightgown and stood at the bedside naked his cock hard and proud pointing towards Bridget. Slowly he pulled back the bedclothes to find Bridget as she had said, naked as the day she was born. Carefully he climbed in beside her hardly daring to touch her in case he was dreaming, but she smiled encouragingly at him and thinking he should still act the fool he placed his nightcap on Bridget's head and laughed at her,

"Who looks silly now? In all the stories the beautiful princess is kissed by a handsome prince or in this case a devilishly handsome squire."

He then took her in his arms and felt the warm softness of her against him, being careful to not let his cock anywhere near her sex in case it might give the impression that he just wanted her for her body. He kissed her gently and lovingly, licking her soft lips with his tongue before pressing between her succulent lips and rolled his tongue over hers as she kissed him back.

The kiss broke after what seemed a blissful eternity to Joshua, still he held her tight and although he'd had no intention of saying anything that night he asked,

"You know what happens to the princess and her lover after that kiss? They marry, have lot's of children and live happily ever after. I only mention it because I am not sure if I am worthy enough to be your husband so if you say no I will perfectly understand."

Notwithstanding that he pulled her to him and stroked his hand over the tight curly hairs of her mound and slid his fingers to the apex of her pink slit and covered her clit with the heel of his hand and pressed gently knowing from before that she enjoyed it immensely.

"It has been a while my love but there are things that I remember and maybe some I have forgotten but I am willing to learn again."

 

[Opensesame54321]

She wiped a tear from her eye as her laughter died away, leaving a smile on her face. Watching Joshua remove the nightgown, it pleased her to see his cock definitely pointing towards her and she waited expectantly as he approached the bed. As he drew back the covers, cool air caressed her naked body.

Joshua climbed in beside her before perching the nightcap upon her head and laughed.

Who looks silly now? In all the stories the beautiful princess is kissed by a handsome prince or in this case a devilishly handsome squire.

Gently he took her in his arms and she sighed, feeling at home and where she belonged. His lips claimed her as their tongues danced together. The kiss was not frantic, but rather loving and welcomed and she felt her body melt into his. This was where she wished to spend the rest of her life.

Lying in his arms, he spoke again.

You know what happens to the princess and her lover after that kiss? They marry, have lot's of children and live happily ever after. I only mention it because I am not sure if I am worthy enough to be your husband so if you say no I will perfectly understand.

Her heart beat fast. Did he just ask her to marry him, to bear his children? But then she worried. She had been with him all this time and had not gotten pregnant. And she knew that Isaac had not gotten her pregnant. Maybe she was unable to bear children. Would he not want her then?

With that, he began to gently stroke her nether curls and then slipped his fingers into her slit as he lightly pressed against her clit. She gave a little groan of excitement.

It has been a while my love but there are things that I remember and maybe some I have forgotten but I am willing to learn again

"Joshua, are you asking what I think that you are asking? Please, be clear about it." She placed her hand on his cheek, forcing him to look her in the eyes. "For I love you with all my heart. And I think that it would break it if I should have to leave. But I will not stay as your bedwarmer, or your whore. There is only one way that I will remain here."

 

[cumnchat]

'"Joshua, are you asking what I think that you are asking? Please, be clear about it.For I love you with all my heart. And I think that it would break it if I should have to leave. But I will not stay as your bedwarmer, or your whore. There is only one way that I will remain here."

At that moment the shame of the way he had treated Bridget washed over him and he reassured her as best he could,

"My sweet dear Bridget you have not mistaken my question for I too have lost my heart to you, I confess I have behaved abominably towards you and if I could turn back time I would, I have never nor ever will think of you as a whore. I want, no , I need you here beside me so don't leave, stay and be my wife, if you agree I must remember to tell Carrie to cease giving you that tea in the mornings."

As he spoke he was stoking the fires in Bridget's sex, slipping his fingers in and out feeling the wetness that she leaked as he aroused her and when he had finished speaking he buried his head between her breasts and rolled on top of her, his manhood teasing her labia as he gently parted her legs.

"Are we agreed my love?, We shall be husband and wife before the month is out. "

He didn't wait for Bridget's answer but rolled his hips and parted the glistening wet lips of Bridget's sex and slowly rocked back and forth inside her, sucking and kissing her naked breasts.

 

[Opensesame54321]

My sweet dear Bridget you have not mistaken my question for I too have lost my heart to you, I confess I have behaved abominably towards you and if I could turn back time I would, I have never nor ever will think of you as a whore. I want, no , I need you here beside me so don't leave, stay and be my wife, if you agree I must remember to tell Carrie to cease giving you that tea in the mornings.

Before she could ask why she would no longer have her morning tea, Joshua smiled back and with his face between her breast, he was on top of her gently spreading her legs as his cock teased her sex.

Are we agreed my love?, We shall be husband and wife before the month is out.

And with that, he slid his cock deep inside her sex. Bridget let out a contented sigh as he once again filled that space between her legs. She wrapped her legs around his hips and kissed him.

She really needed to ask him later why she couldn't have tea in the morning.

 

[cumnchat]

Bridget's soft velvety warmth enveloped his cock as he slid gently inside her, not pushing, but allowing Bridget to dictate the pace and depth of his lovemaking, he did not want to hurt her in any way whatsoever and she would surely be sore in some parts. Her contented sigh and her soft kiss helped him to settle and he began a soothing rhythm against her and Bridget wrapped her smooth legs around his hips and they made love silently except for the occasional sigh or moan from Bridget and words of love from Joshua. For a full hour they enjoyed rediscovering each other's body. While leaving his hard erection inside Bridget's wet and juicy sex Joshua concentrated his hands and fingers on Bridget's soft pillowy breasts and sensitive nipples, tweaking the hard little pink cherries and sucking them one at a time onto his tongue and rolling them over and under his tongue.

Even though the pace was slow and gentle Bridget clenched on his shaft and he felt his seed rising and ready to splash her insides.

"Bridget darling I must cum at any moment, it would please me greatly if you could at the same time."

He held out for a few more seconds then all the frustrations of the past few days exploded in a creamy torrent that quickly filled Bridget's womanly core.

"Thank you Bridget for your forgiveness, you are truly my princess."

 

[Opensesame54321]

Bridget was appreciative of the gentle lovemaking that Joshua gave her. If nothing else, it felt good to be back in his arms. Though her body was still somewhat sore, she could tell that Joshua was trying to love her and yet not hurt her.

They spent time relearning each other's body. While still hard and throbbing deep inside her, his hands and mouth paid homage to her breast, licking and sucking her nipples, stroking and caressing her breast. Bridget couldn't help but moan and groan as she felt herself being carried towards such grand passions that her breath occasionally caught in her throat.

Eventually she could feel the familiar climax starting, her body gripping him.

Bridget darling I must cum at any moment, it would please me greatly if you could at the same time.

"I am there with you."

Suddenly she felt Joshua's seed burst forth, splashes hitting her insides and triggering her own climax. She gave a little cry, those muscles still healing and though the pain was minimal, she welcomed it as it was a gift from her love, her fiancé. Fiancéd. Just the word warmed her and she smiled at him as he came down from his own high, wrapping her gently in his arm

Thank you Bridget for your forgiveness, you are truly my princess.

She kissed him, her lips promising him that she had always been his as she fell asleep in his arms.

 

[cumnchat]

The pinnacle of Joshua's joy came when
his Bridget moaned her pleasure to him and showered her climax over his spurting cock. They held each other tight until the moment passed and lay quietly in each others arms exchanging soft loving kisses so any doubts were banished from their minds.
Morning came and Joshua's sense of humour bubbled over as he lay on his back with his morning erection pointed to the sky and he covered it with his nightcap and twitched his cock like a glove puppet and said in a squeaky voice,
"Good morning, it was so good to make your acquaintance last night, might I suggest that we renew that acquaintance once more?"
He pulled off the nightcap and rolled Bridget on to her back and spread her legs wide, sliding his cock smoothly into her wet pink sex.

As luck would have it Joshua and Bridget were lustily engaged when Carrie arrived at their door with a laden breakfast tray. Before she announced her presence she listened at the door and heard her two favorite people apart from Dougan engaged in a passionate meeting of bodies, the slap, slap of flesh on flesh was unmistakable and Bridget's cries of passion confirmed it. They had finally got it together and were fucking. Carrie smiled to herself and set the tray down intending to return in a short while.
'They doesn't want me interrupting' she thought and walked away with a huge smile on her face.

 

[Opensesame54321]

Bridget was so happy. He wanted her. And he wanted her as his wife. Just sleeping in his arms brought her so much joy. Making love with Joshua was like coming home, like being welcomed with open arms He had changed her life so much. Now it felt as if she really were healing.

The next morning, as she awoke, she heard Joshua stirring. Before Isaac, she would wake him by kissing and sucking his member until he rewarded her with his seed. But this time, there was a difference. He made her smile as he put his nightcap over his member, jesting as he playfully pretended it was a puppet.

Good morning, it was so good to make your acquaintance last night, might I suggest that we renew that acquaintance once more?

And with that, they once again made love, spending time as they both seemed to have limitless love and energy, their sounds alerting a diligent Carrie.

Upon hearing what was happening on the other side of the door, Carrie knew what that meant. After leaving the tray on the table outside the master bedroom, the smiling maid went in search of Dougan.

She noted the extra spring in his step this morning.

"'usband, yew seems in good spirits t'day."

Dougan just grinned, looking around to make sure that they were alone before he grabbed her. His arm held her close to him as he kissed her, one hand going to her stomach to caress the baby growing there.

As the kiss broke, Carrie teased him. "Pretty proud uv yerself, ain't cha?"

He kissed her again.

"Our baby may 'ave a little playmate."

"The Master and Miss Bridget?"

Carrie nodded.

"Good!"

 

[cumnchat]

The early part of the morning was spent with Joshua and Bridget in each other's arms, loth to let the other go. They kissed continually, tasting one another's lips, caressing the secret places that aroused their passions until Joshua realized how late in the morning it was.

"Goodness Bridget you keep me from my work, not that I give a jot now that I have you back, but duty calls and the staff will be drawing their own conclusions as to what is taking place, they are a wise lot and likely to have reached the correct conclusion. What say you that we breakfast and then announce our engagement? Once that is done no doubt Carrie will take charge and start making arrangements for the wedding, our first task is to set a date to work towards."
At that moment Carrie knocked on the door and entered with the breakfast tray.

"Good morning Sir, Miss Bridget, I brought the tray earlier but it sounded like yew wus busy an' didn't need to be disturbed."
A mischievous twinkle in her eye as she let it be known that she had heard them fucking.

 

[Opensesame54321]

Bridget didn't think that it was possible to be happier than she was that morning. Joshua was the most attentive lover and every moment brought greater and greater pleasure until finally he realized how late it was.

As if by magic, Carrie knocked before entering, carrying a tray with enough food for both her and Joshua.

Good morning Sir, Miss Bridget, I brought the tray earlier but it sounded like yew wus busy an' didn't need to be disturbed.

Bridget blushed as Carrie carried the tray in and placed it between the two lovers in bed. Carrie looked pointedly at the Master before telling Bridget.

"Miss Bridget, we is all out of that tea that you like to drink in the morning. So instead, I brought you a lovely Earl Grey."

She decided to let Joshua tell the Miss just what that other tea was. If he was smart, he would tell her as soon as possible.

 

[cumnchat]

After Carrie had left them alone again to have their breakfast Joshua remembered her hint about telling Bridget the true purpose of the tea he had insisted she drink every other day. He knew it would be difficult to explain but it had been for her own good and as things had turned out had served its purpose well.

"Bridget my sweet there is something I must tell you, we have made love on countless occasions and as yet my seed has not borne fruit, this is not due to any fault on your part but rather to my own selfishness. The tea that you take prevents you from conceiving, I gave you this as I wanted you to be available to me at all times without the inconvenience of a large bump in your belly,now we are betrothed the sooner we rectify the situation the better so I promise that we will make love at least three times a day until you are with child, with your blessing of course."

Having got it out in the open with only the smallest of white lies he held Bridget close and chuckled in her ear,

"How many times have we made love today?"

 

[Opensesame54321]

Bridget was looking over the food and finding herself quite hungry. That was a good sign. She had started listening halfheartedly to Joshua's explanation when his words started to sink in.

The tea? The tea was it? She was not barren? She was stunned at first. But she had been afraid that she would get pregnant and then the entire village would know that she had been a wicked woman.

"The last time I had that tea was..." She looked down. "...Isaac."

She looked at him. "I thought that I was barren and would not be able to supply you with a child. I guess that that is still possible. But we have made love much today." She hesitated. "But we can always do more." She smiled.

"The past is that. Let us look towards the future and start anew. But we must be truthful to each other. We both kept secrets from each other and we can't do that any more. Now let us eat before the food gets colder, for I am hungry."

 

[cumnchat]

It appeared to Joshua that Bridget was not really listening to him explaining about the tea until he told her told her it was the tea that had provided protection against her becoming pregnant.

""The last time I had that tea was.....Isaac.",

She looked down at her naked midriff and shuddered at what might have been. She continued but more speaking to herself than to Joshua and he had to strain his ears to hear all that she was saying.

"I thought that I was barren and would not be able to supply you with a child. I guess that that is still possible. But we have made love much today." But we can always do more. The past is that. Let us look towards the future and start anew. But we must be truthful to each other. We both kept secrets from each other and we can't do that any more. Now let us eat before the food gets colder, for I am hungry."

They both proceeded to tuck into their breakfast as there were things that needed to be done before they dressed and went about their business.
Joshua finished first and smiling he took one of the remaining strawberries and squashed it on one of Bridget's erect pink nipples.

"Leave it there dearest, I will dispose of it in good time."

He chuckled as he pushed Bridget back among the pillows and hovered over her supported by his arms.

"AHA, Now I have you my wanton maiden, you thought to escape me but you must pay the price for sleeping in my bed."

He tried to appear serious and threatening but it was difficult not to laugh with Bridget tickling his ribs.

 

[Opensesame54321]

Even though their breakfast was no longer piping hot, it was still good and very nourishing. At one point near the end of the meal, Joshua took very ripe strawberries and squeezed the juicy pulp over both of her nipples.

Leave it there dearest, I will dispose of it in good time.

He then pressed her back among the many pillows on the bed and, supporting himself over her, giving her a hilarious imitation of the evil squire.

AHA, Now I have you my wanton maiden, you thought to escape me but you must pay the price for sleeping in my bed.

She couldn't help herself, starting to tickle his ribs before affecting a very thick accent.

"Ooooo, Sur, please don't 'urt me. Dew ya mean ta steal me juicy berries? Dew ya mean ta 'ave yer wicked way wit me? Wat is yer price?"

 

[cumnchat]

Joshua roared with laughter at Bridget's imitation of a country accent and chuckled
"I wouldn't let Carrie hear you making fun of her accent but I have something that will make you smile and remind you of this morning, it is something we did in India to pass the time."
He took a pen and paper and began writing hiding what he had written when Bridget tried to steal a look.
Before he finished he folded the paper, putting it in his pocket.
"I'll finish it later and show you at lunch."
Then he strode off to inspect the estate after kissing Bridget on the cheek.

 

[Opensesame54321]

Bridget wondered just what Joshua had planned but he was being secretive, promising to show her what he was doing at lunch.

After he gave her a kiss and headed off to work, Carrie came in fairly glowing, smiling at Bridget and telling her,

"I'm glad ta see yew two 'as made up an' are t'gather agin. Yew were made fer each other."

"You look happy too, Carrie."

"There's a reason fer that. I'm expectin' a little stranger." Carrie's grin lit up her entire face.

Bridget squealed and hugged Carrie. "Does Dougan know?"

"That 'e does."

"And?"

"'e's fair bustin' 'is buttons!"

"I bet he's proud."

As Carrie helped Bridget take her bath, Bridget grew quiet.

"Carrie, did you know about the tea?"

Carrie answered her truthfully. "Yes. It let Dougan an' me 'ave fun wifout a baby 'til we was married." She watched Bridget as the woman bathed. "Yew know 'e luvs yew."

Bridget smiled and nodded. "He proposed."

"Are yew 'appy?"

Bridget nodded and smiled again.

"Good!"

 

[cumnchat]

Joshua toured the estate with Dougan who pointed out various aspects that could be improved on and increase income. He knew that Joshua had money problems and the deal between Joshua and Isaac and Miss Bridget all had something to do with money but the details escaped him. Instead of puzzling over what was not his business he broke the news to Joshua of their expected new arrival, who clapped him on the back and confided that he too had some important news that he would be announcing to the whole household after tea that afternoon.
Joshua then found a quiet spot on his own and continue with his writing , chuckling to himself as he wrote, he was sure Bridget's cheeks would turn crimson as she heard it. Lunchtime arrived and as arranged they met in the hayloft where they had spent many happy hours. After they had eaten a simple lunch of freshly baked bread, cheese and homemade pickle Joshua took out the paper and waved it in front of Bridget,
"Before I tell it to you, I assure you I have no knowledge of the persons mentioned"

He watched Bridget's face as he began reading,

""OH, Sir Jasper, do not touch me," cried the fair young maiden
"OH, Sir Jasper, do not touch me," cried the fair young maiden
"OH, Sir Jasper, do not touch me," cried the fair young maiden as she lay upon the bed with nothing on at all.

"OH, Sir Jasper, do not touch," cried the fair young maiden
"OH, Sir Jasper, do not touch," cried the fair young maiden
"OH, Sir Jasper, do not touch," cried the fair young maiden as she lay upon the bed with nothing on at all.

"OH, Sir Jasper, do not," whispered the fair young maiden
"OH, Sir Jasper, do not," whispered the fair young maiden
"OH, Sir Jasper, do not," whispered the fair young maiden as she lay upon the bed with nothing on at all.

"OH, Sir Jasper, do," whispered the fair young maiden

"OHH, Sir Jasper," gasped the fair young maiden

"OOOHH, SIR," pleaded the fair young maiden
"OOOHH, SIR," pleaded the fair young maiden
"OOOHH, SIR," pleaded the fair young maiden as she lay upon the bed with nothing on at all.
