Chapter Five

The next couple of weeks flew by quickly. Robert apologized for his erratic behavior. He explained he had sleep walked from time to time since he was a child and that it was nothing to worry about. Those words again. Laura struggled to hold on to her secret. She tried to think how she could help Robert, even with kind words or moral support. But to say something she’d have to admit she had been through his documents. So she did what she could – she smiled, she shared her meals with him, posed for portraits, listened to his poetry and tried to help around the house and in the garden.

Laura tried to get more information from Arthur, but the boy and his mother were tight lipped about Robert’s financial difficulties. Even if they knew something, they would not say. And Robert himself never mentioned any troubles. Some days she thought, that maybe she had misunderstood what she saw, and she should just enjoy her stay. But then she saw the empty look in Robert’s eyes when he thought she wasn’t looking. There were also days when he left the house very early, only to return late in the evening.

Finally she decided, she couldn’t hide her knowledge any longer. She prayed before going to bed for courage and strength. She prayed for forgiveness too, for intruding in his business affairs.
