The cold storage lies just beyond the cottage door. In it are various harvested vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Cured meat hangs from the ceiling by thin rope. The room is made of wood, and the wind whistles through the cracks.

I was married off by my family about five years ago. I spend my days cooking and cleaning so my husband will have something to eat when he returns from his work and can enjoy a clean home. I love my husband dearly because he works very hard to provide for us.
Oh dear! You almost made me drop my rolling pin! I'm a simple man. I love cheese and crumbs. Sorry for disturbing you ma'am.  Oh it is quite okay. I am an easy one to give a fright. Don't mind me. I'm not as filthy as society makes me out to be.  I do not mid you at all! Would you like some of these nuts? Or perhaps a fruit? I haven't any cheese. Oh my! Such a sweetheart! Yes please ma'am!  It does no harm to share! That's what my dear husband always says. Tell me more about your husband?  He is a dear sweetheart if I must say. We wed 5 years ago, forced by my parents. Though I am glad they did. He works so hard every day all day to make sure I have everything I need. That sounds awful though. To be forced into a marriage. Where is the free will?  I resented my parents at first. But it is the best thing that has happened to me! My husband is just simply amazing! Sounds a little forced, but hey different strokes for different folks ma'am.
