She looks at him for a moment before speaking. "I saw woman and children..." She stops before she could get any more upset.
She listened to him a moment.
"Yes I am basically the default manager of the estate, as Father is often away... as is George... and don't even ask about Annabel she is useless."
She looked at the portrait. "Can you see me in it?" She giggled.
He looks at her and smiles as she giggles befor he looks at the potrait "Lets me see.... if i'm right...y..you are the youngest sister.... then you must beeee...."
He points to the little girl which looks the most recent "There... thats you..........right?
He smiles at her
She says something in a language he cannot understand before saying. "Yes that is me, you see that women there?"
She points to a young looking women sitting next to Sir William. "That is my Mother..."
She then points one of the two identical twins. "...and that is Charles..." She stops a tear in her eye. "They was taken from us... by Corsairs..."
"It's been twelve almost thirteen years..." She said sadly.
She looked at the painting then cheered up a little. "But things are looking up..."
She took his hand. "You know you are the first man I have been able to talk to without getting embarrassed."
She kissed him on the cheek again but then recoiled as a knock on the door was heard. "That would be the Tea and Crumpets."
He blushes a deep red again as she kisses him "I..uhmm...its nice to emm... nice to.."
He looks quickly to the door "YES! uhmm i mean...yes... must be tea ....and crumpets..."
He sighs relieved as if somebody came to rescue him from a embarrassing moment in which he wouldnt know what to say
A maid placed the tea and Crumpets and left before Robson could say anything. "Ah yes..." Juliet adds some milk to the tea with two lumps of sugar.
As she stirred she spoke softly. "And what about your family, I am sure they haven't had any... bad things happen to them?"
She sipped. "help yourself." She gestured to the tea tray.
He also adds two lumps of suger into his teacup and takes a sip after he stirred the tea "No...no...no bad things happened to them.... well... we are a rather small family. There is my father, my mother, my little brother and myself"
He takes another sip "My father works in a factory on New London, my mother works as a cleaner in a office building and my little brother goes to school. All of them are happily supporting me in my career as a BAF officer.... but... i think they have great anxiety about me... i think... because they fear that they might lose me..."
"I see, well can't be as bad my sister's fiancé he work the BIS and even she doesn't know where he is half the time."
She took a crumpet and buttered it. "Oh... no..." She said as some butter landed on her dress. "Could you pass be a napkin?" She said as she bit into the crumpet.
He takes a napkin and hands it to her with a smile "That is sad to hear... but i visit my family whenever i can... and if i cant, i send them mails and writte that i'm fine and where i'm and all that other stuff you writte into a mail to you parents"
He laughs slightly and then again smiles at her
