They made love a few more times, but nothing like that second time. Jacquelyn wore a secret smile, ones she gave him when she thought he wasn't looking. Andre was a good lover and a good husband, he didn't beat her and though he was rough around the edges, she was certain they would do alright.
She caught on with the house work and in the few days she'd been there she had made the house shine. Of course, she still saw the mouse and screamed just as loudly as the first time. Her cooking had improved a bit, she felt but it wasn't up to par with her bread yet.
Having done the laundry earlier she was now inside waiting for her dough to rise and mending clothes. It seemed he had so many holes and tears that he had only one good pair of breeches. The items she'd received as a gift were wonderfully handy and she moved through the items with ease. Jacquelyn wanted a book or two to keep sharp, but she hadn't asked Andre yet. She wanted to wait before asking him for things, especially after the gift of the scissors.
No one had stopped by in a while, and she was rather lonely, she was used to having many people around. But, here it was just the two of them.
Her daily schedule was nice, before the sun was hot she weeded the garden and then started the laundry, so by the time it was up in the air it was swinging on the line. Then she made them quick lunches which they ate outside. Then she would plan for dinner, knead the bread and then sweep the house and make the bed and all that. Then she'd work on the sewing and mending and folding and putting the clothes away. Then dinner and washing it all up, then she'd work on her dress or a new shirt before bed.
She wanted a tub, to bathe in. Something big enough for the two of them, she knew it would be a while. for now she used the pail and warm water with a rag and a cake of soft soap. Someday, when the water was warmer she'd talk her husband into going with her after dinner. She wasn't sure she was heavy enough not to float away.
Looking up from her mending of a button on a shirt she saw Andre coming through the door. Looking up puzzled she thought she might be late for dinner. But hearing him, she jumped up and wiped her hands. Smoothing her hair back she gave the man a little curtsey. Smiling up at him and Andre she nodded. "Bon jour father... yes everything is well." She blushed and held Andre's arm shyly.
"Please let us step outside where it is much cooler..." She offered and moved around them and back out into the yard, into the shade. She knew how Andre was, but she wasn't sure how to rid them of the man. "Was there something we could do for you, father?" She asked. He was handsome, much to handsome to be a man of the cloth, she thought. He was also fairly young, closer to her age than Andre was, she mused.
