Hannah takes me reluctantly back to my room, where she had a small cot brought in and set besides the bed. "What's this?" I ask. "If it pleases Your Grace, I will sleep in here with you tonight," she tells me. "The bed looks horribly uncomfortable," I say. "I couldn't ask that of you." "It is quite an improvement from what I am use to," she confesses. My heart sinks hearing her say that. I know what it is like to sleep on an uncomfortable surface. "Where do you stay?" I ask her. "In the common area with the other servants," she tells me. "We have a room on the first floor." "Rubbish," I tell her, poking the bed. "I will see what I can do about making your accommodations more suitable for you." "I am not complaining my Lady," she says, nervously.
