Annabelle was in Boston since two days now. Albert left soon in the morniing for New-York, more business things to do. She felt a little lonely, she hoped be able to see more her husband now that she was in Boston. Well, she wasn't totally alone, Mrs. Emerson was there.
Mrs. Emerson: How do you like your new house Annabelle?
Annabelle: Pretty. Laura did a good job on the decoration, I don't think make major change at this time.
Mrs. Emerson: Yes, Laura did well. Oh, you already received some welcome gift for your baby. Let em show you.
Ananbelle moved toward her mother-in-law and looked to a small box she bring.
Mrs. Emerson: It come from Mr. Larsen, one of Victor colleague. He would be ready for Andover with that.
Annabelle: But if the baby is a girl?
Mrs. Emerson: If that is a girl, you will have to start to work on her future immediatly after her birth. I will give you a list of all suitable families with boy between two to ten years old. We had a chance with Laura, my friend Edwina had four boys when Laura was born, we immediatly made everything for something can hapen. I prapared Laura at her early age and Edwina did the same with her son. If a young girl think that a young man is interesting in her, she would do everything for please this young man, and the young man would appreciate this attention and it usually conclude to a relation. Sooner is better, especially the cost of marry his daughter after 22 years old is difficult. Before, the marraige portion is including in the young woman inheritance to be, but after this age, the husband lost all right on inheritance to come, which mean he haev to request a higher marriage portion from the woman family. You don't have to forget that the husband whould take care of the well be of her wife and children and that is one of the big investment that a gentleman must do in his life.
Mrs. Emerson looked ar Annabelle and walked to ward her.
Mrs. Emerson: Sweertheart, you don't have to worry. I must admit that I was a little reluctant when Albert told us about court you. Victor had already a nice offert for the daughter Evans. We know that you suffer to a not have a mother for prepar you to all this. In despite of your father effort on your education, it wasn't like you had your mother for guide you in this world. But you are pretty, educated and you will give beautiful children to Albert. Don't be worry about the baby to come, I will be there for help you and i'm sure you will be a good mother.
Annabelle listened her mother-in-law in silence. Suddenly, few doubts came to her mind - did Albert really married her only for the appearance and as an investment? She didn't felt like be a puppet, but now that Mrs. Emersonw as talking, doubts came sadly to her mind.
Mrs. Emerson: I have the tea with a friend this afternoon. You should come too, it is not good to stay alone, you need to make your relation in this city if you want to survive to this jungle.
