There was also a smaller bed in which a maid slept. The family was not rich by any means. The maid was a relative of Throckmorton’s. In the beginning she worked for the family to save a decent dowry. However she was no beauty, and Throckmorton never really managed to pay her much above food and lodging.
She also contracted diphtheria and died at the age of 17. She was the daughter of Throckmorton’s half sister. You know her in this life as a relative of, I believe a niece of, your mother’s. You will recall that your mother, your present mother, was Dick’s oldest sister during that life.

As I mentioned earlier, she did marry a cavalry officer, and bore him many children.
