VII

"Sir, I am so generous of your will to know the relevance of my words, Perhaps I know sir that you are here to hear my Uncle's loss of gaiety and his acts of perils that were disparaging in his own terms, but you must not focus on indulging in somewhat preposterous emotions with anyone that comes in my story,  Now I must proceed onto the case. My eyes could heed onto nothing but the lifeless floor and as he lifted my petty coat I recoiled within the fear to even look at him, though the closed eyes of Jenny were evident against mine, so how sweet he was, sleeping carelessly and so perfectly, sir I was not ready for this, I never was as I was just a feeble young girl, yet it held no meagre of trifle matters to him.

   "Trust in me, Evelyn, I will not hurt you," as those words fell from his lips, I felt the sudden rage of the impeccable pain and the immeasurable feeling of discomfort yet I could not cry nor were my screams would be of any avail as he had his hands stitched to my dreaded lips. Now you must be wondering about the full conviction of his dismal attempt at this vile crime in which he was well prospered, if you are then I must confess, I have my peevish thoughts on the society that we are destined to spend our entire life's ahead, sir they are to believe in men and perhaps for sure they are to not believe in a woman like myself who had no such parents and yet had a little sibling that she was detained to take care of, now I have not the knowledge of the preposterous ways of life that is to work in your great country of America sir, but in England, my uncle should only part a trustable reason from his lips and that should be to convict myself in the role of a cunt and everything would fall apart against of me, they will have the reason to confine their thoughts into the motives of my advertent lie and my piteous life to ransom the money from his poor pocket for the sake of ourselves, I have been distracted again, let me return to the sober matter of fact. My tears ran down my pale cheeks and my struggle had died already under his threatening movements, I thought he could not provide any more pain than he was already doing, but I was wrong though it didn't matter much as my face was against the closed eyes of Jenny, and the better memory discerned within me, sir it was the time of lunch when the sun was standing high onto the blue sky, Jenny was giving quite a lot of trouble to mother though she knew what she was intended to do as she let the plates rest and leered at the eyes of Jenny.

   "Dear Jenny, do you know there are men with their intention reeked with perils of lot, perhaps you do forget that you promised to protect us from such men, were you not?" she asked, his lips could not let a single sigh in the regard of this matter, though I am afraid to think that he had no intelligible mind to even comprehend the meaning of intention reeked with perils.

   "If you do not agree to eat these vegetables then I am afraid you will not become stronger to protect us?" I was standing afar and observing his reactions and enlightening myself with the softness of answers that he replied from his eyes.

   "Yes, I do, Mother, I will protect everyone!" he said with such a tremendous amount of vehemence that I could do nothing and just smile at his words, now sir I must come to the present, now if I see back, he was failed to protect me from such perils intentions of men, I am no person to hold my blame for Jenny who was a feeble child and was in no position to protect me yet I could not distinguish the reasons for this memory to come alive in my own thoughts, my eyes fell implicitly impassive and amply he had seized the vile movement of his hips and yet he ventured to stay upon me, caressing my hair and I was told to stay still, sir, perhaps now I could not write any longer, perhaps sir, you must wait for any further words that I am detained to write."

The perpetual light of the rising sun reflected upon the eyes of Mr. Garret and he looked beyond the curtains, the chirps of birds refrained from the delusion sight of the night and he rose when he understood the time. He walked to the hallway and could hear the glib movements of the maid while she had the intention of finishing her morning employment. Mr. Garret walked to the sound of her humming and as he proceeded her voice became clearer, he seized her in his eyes when her hands were accustomed to the plates and her voice had no impassive traits at all, he walked up to her and let out a word she turned round and startled herself when she spotted him so close.

   "Oh my ----- You have the vile habit of startling me, do you need something?" she said while her fingers were round her chest.

  "Yes, perhaps if you can then serve me a cup of tea,"

  "I will be quick enough, sir, wait in the breakfast room or perhaps you can wander round this gigantic house if you will,"

  Mr. Garret nodded and ventured into the breakfast room and waited patiently for her tranquility and for her eyes that could enlighten the gloomy mood that he received after reading the letter, as the minutes elapsed, she appeared against his eyes, and he locked his attention onto her handsome cheeks which had the smile of generosity within itself.

  "Here is your tea sir," she said when putting the cup down and turned over to leave but Mr. Garret intervened her by asking if she had been eating properly while he was the man of the house.

  "Oh dear, what has given you the thoughts of that sort? Do I look pale in any way?" she asked, and her eyes subsided with every second until he spoke the satisfied answer.

  "No – No, you are perfect in every way, I suppose I have grown the feelings of care for you," Mr. Garret's reply had gifted the tranquility to the poor maid.

  "Is that so? Then I must grant you your satisfaction by agreeing that I am certainly most happy in here, now sir provide me your permission to leave, I have a lot of work to finish." She bowed when he announced the approval, then she walked away. Mr. Garret sat still, Evelyn's letter had the sufficed power to give him anxiety as he was coaxing himself to care for any woman he could see in his view yet the moment of regrets was yet to desert him. He rose after he placed the vacant cup onto the table and went to his very own room to engage himself with the letters again that were laying still on the quilt, he looked at it as if it was talking about its pretentious traits that it possessed. Mr. Garret held those pages with great profound delicacy lying within his fingers, as the first words shone in his eyes he felt he was lost in the world, in her own world.

"Sir, so sorry for my intervention, perhaps I had my anxiety acting as if it was a matronly cap, though I suppose I am all in great health now. I must continue my story, where was I? Ah – I see, I was perhaps in the times of the utterance of perils that was hovering over me. I was devastated and in great pain. Uncle had whispered into my ear as he departed himself from me, Sir I must mention the words he uttered into my ear.

  "Evelyn, you must stay loyal to me as it holds the safety of your dear brother Jenny."

He left me in my own monotonous sad feelings just as those farmers who had constrained themselves with the jealousy when they murdered my parents. I had a lot of pain within myself and I tried to be so silent as I could be though it seemed solemn in my eyes, the tears were incessant and I knew I could not stay there in that wretched state so I tried to lift myself up, I cried and cried more the moment later, I made an effort to clad myself before Jenny could open his eyes. Sir, you might be wondering where Uncle had gone after this incident, perhaps he had ventured to his friends once again for I suppose he would have a nice laugh with them in a conversation in regard to how he managed to attempt the art of devilry or how he had managed to make a girl submissive and let him strip the girlhood from her, yes, I was so sure that he was having a great laugh at myself with his bastard friends. For the rest of the night, I could not sleep, no one could as I was to spend the times of such a hell against my own will. Yes, the pain had subsided but my tears would keep flowing like my cheeks were to act as a fountain for them, Uncle had not returned yet and I did not hold the knowledge of how to act towards him until his bravery to even lay a finger onto a girl with those intentions, but perhaps before that matter, there was another one for me to tackle first. Jenny was no trifle to deal with and if he had seen someone in despair then I am afraid he would keep asking the said person to discern the sufficed reasons for their dismay and now he was awake and he did see my tears before I could wipe my eyes.

   "Evelyn? Are you crying?" he asked.

   "Oh no – no dear, perhaps something has struck my eyes and that is causing me an enormous suffer,"

   "Am I a fool to you? You are completely lying,"

I smiled at him and I knew I could not let the obvious reasons fall from my lips, but I had to give some answer to satisfy his needs.

  "Jenny, I miss them a lot, Father and Mother, We were happier and easier before but I am afraid we will not find those moments ever. I suppose I may only miss them ."

   I said but this time with no effort to hide the tears as they led me into confidence to talk to Jenny, he could not manage to say much yet his actions were quite delicate and held such kindness for myself as he held my hands and hugged me and I slept in his arm for the rest of this such a sad night."

Mr. Garret rose from his quilt and walked out, in the hope of getting a glimpse of The Maid, he had conjured the idea of letting his feelings love her, but that was quite a matter out of his own tacit as well upon realising that his truer feelings but the dubious idea that it could be only his delusion had not deserted him as well. He thought the Maid was captured by the housework but when he entered the breakfast room and spotted the maid while she was having her breakfast.

   "Are you having breakfast this early because of what I said?"

She turned round and locked her eyes on him, she trotted her lips to provide an answer to his remarks.

   "Oh no sir, I was hungry and decided to have breakfast before you, I suppose it holds no reason to let down your benignant,"

   "No, It does not, have your breakfast on, I was to have the fresh air for a moment," she nodded and decided to not give him her regards and let him walk on. The sun was screaming round the clouds and he stepped his foot onto the grass of the backyard, He took a seat on the ground and looked at the cloud, the rays of breeze that were on his face were enough for his satisfaction. The moment he shut his eyes off his name on a very familiar lips stopped his relaxation instantly, he looked towards the door and found Mr. Burton, his sudden appearance was rather pale and old than he was before, perhaps in the mind of Mr. Garret he had not been incessantly having the effects of his cosmetics.

  "Mr. Garret, where are you?" he shouted to the house then came to the backyard with the maid herself.

"Oh, I can see him, now you may leave." He ordered the maid and she obliged the words of him.

"What is good? Dear Burton," said Mr. Garret.

"Nothing is good, I am afraid to say but you need to suspend your employment and come with me quickly!" his tone had the percentage of aggravation as he addressed Mr. Garret contemptuously.

"But what is the matter?" Mr. Garret asked after he rose from his position.

"I must say now, Evelyn had attempted the terrific crime in the eyes of the Bible, she had dared to take her life!"
