Essie was struggling to keep up with the English now, but it was mainly because she was very rusty at the language. The men were taught fluent English. Not the women. Women didn't need English. They rarely held power. Essie had no power. But she understood that her babies were healthy and so was she. That was the main thing.

Now it was back to her brother. She needed orders from her brother on what to do. She couldn't do anything without him. "My brother... I need orders from him. Can you get my orders from him." She asked, sitting herself up though she didn't feel all that well. It was a shock to the system after a big crash while eight months pregnant.
