Chapter 48: Embarrassing (2)
"I told you to leave when she started to act like that, yet you stood there. You’re going to end up fired," Warren said, walking away from Mary.
Mary looked around, making sure no one was around to spy on them. Then, she followed Warren to his room.
"Mr Kennedy instructed me to stay by her side until he came up to take care of her. I can take what your mother says," said Mary.
Mary knew that Kate had her moments of rambling on about things that weren’t true. It was best to ignore everything that Kate said.
Besides, Mary didn’t want to court Noah behind Kate’s back. He was not someone that she had any interest in.
Mary entered Warren’s room to tend to him. "I think it is because she is placed by the window that Lady Kate gets upset. I wish to take her to the garden."
"You are to do as you are told. Have her be by the window so she can see the people passing by," said Warren.
His mother needed to see the outside world before she completely lost her mind.
Mary approached Warren to help him take his coat off. "It is the mention of balls which upsets her. Perhaps it wouldn’t be bad to get her a lovely dress to wear so she can remember what it is like to attend balls. If only you could hold a ball here."
"Do not make foolish suggestions," Warren said, discarding his shirt.
Warren knew Kate would never get dressed up again. She would take one look at her feet and insult everyone because they were beneath her.
