The Lady Of Blossholme

CHAPTER XIII
14/30

I have wealth hidden away, I know not where exactly, but Emlyn knows.

It is my very own, the Carfax jewels that came to me from my mother.

It was because of these that we were brought to the stake, since the Abbot offered us life in return for them, and when it was too late to save us, a more merciful death than that by fire.

But I forbade Emlyn to yield the secret; something in my heart told me to do so, now I know why.

Mother, the price of those gems shall buy back your lands, and mayhap buy also permission from his Grace the King for the continuance of your house, where you and yours shall worship as those who went before you have done for many generations.
