Gwen looked up from the table as Christian opened the door to his house. A shaft of sunlight the room, then he closed the door behind him, dimming the house again.

He gave her a grateful smile. "Can't tell you how much I appreciate what you're doing for me." He held up a hand as he headed for the loft. "I'll return shortly. Have to check on my patient."

Within a few minutes, he hustled down the steps to the common room, where Gwen sat reading his copy of Fielding's Tom Jones...or trying to read. How could she concentrate with Christian so close?

Lines of exhaustion etched Christian's face as he pulled out a chair to sit down, stretching his long legs out. He rested his elbows on the table and leaned toward her. "First, I want to say how much I appreciate your help, especially cleaning up the blood. I was going to do that myself, but more urgent matters demanded my time, as you can well imagine." He shifted position in his chair. "Also, talked to Rebecca earlier today. She's enlisted the aid of a young girl who lives a few miles from the Chamberlains, so Molly can come here."

Gwen set her book on the table, never telling him how cleaning up the blood nearly made her sick. "If Molly stays with Ruth Baker, are you going to stay here, too?"

He drew back. "Are you daft? No, I'll stay at the Chamberlains."

Poor man, she thought, he's under such a strain. She'd never heard him speak like that before. "How long will you stay there?" She held her breath, waiting for his answer.

"As long as Mistress Baker needs to recover, probably a month."

Christian at the Chamberlains' for a whole month? Her thoughts spun out of control.
