I come from the lower class. I do what I am told without question. I can not read. I have not seen my family in a long time.
goodday. Good day, come, sit and take a load off fine servant. Some times it is good to relax. Thank you. Tis a warm day. Lots of work. The work will wait. It is time to have a cool drink and sit and talk about the fine things that we should be thankful for what are you thankful for sir? The beautiful sky, the wonderful people in the kingdom, the animals that sustain us along with the crops that are grown. All fine things. I am thankful for this beautiful sky today. Do you have family? not much. An ailing mother who doesn't know what is going on and my brother passed on his travels as a merchant. What is wrong with your mother. Will a little more in your pay help provide for her? Oh sir, we are fine. More pay would be nice to send home, but we make do. She just has the delirium. Some lovely church folk take care of her for me so I can work. I am sorry to hear about your brother. We can make sure your mother is comfortable. You need not worry about that
