Lydia needs help now and you're the one she wants and you're the one I'm going to bring," Timothy firmly stated, standing in agitation by the blazing fireplace. He puffed continually on his pipe, his body poised for flight back to the farmhouse. Dera perceived his worried state, so she ordered Anna to bring her cloak and to ring for the carriage. “I’ll start walking back now. By the time the carriage comes round, I'll be with Lydia. Thank you for coming, Dera." Timothy hurriedly departed, oblivious to the cold night air. Avery looked at Dera in disapproval. "Dera, rushing into the night to help deliver a baby even if it is your aunt's child ... well, it isn't proper. The midwife is perfectly capable. We should send for her." "Lydia wants me. We've never been close, but if she thinks my being there will comfort her, I’m going. She and Timothy were kind to me after my mother abandoned me. This is the least I can do for them. Besides, Anna will be there. If I cared what people thought, I would never have agreed to marry you.” His somber face broke into a grin.
