Defiant Surrender
“Why she had put it off for so long, she did not know. They had been back at Aimecourt for two weeks, more than enough time to search.
However, despite her good intentions; something had always sprung up; a problem with the evening meal, a sudden birth of a baby within the village or a sick serf who needed tending. And it seemed the Lady Madeline was the one expected to help, even though most of the time she had no idea what to do. Her steward hounded her every footstep regarding the household a...ccounts, which was something at least she could make sense of.
It all took significant time, time she did not have if she wanted to find a way to return home. The days seemed to pass her by with considerable speed, ended every night with her under the same coarse blankets, staring out glassless windows, in a time not her own. Three months had almost passed since her journey into the nether regions of history. It was time she put other matters aside and found the blasted piece of jewellery that transported her here in the first place.MoreLess
