Rosa was no fool. She knew that her husband would give her anything should she ask, but it hurt her sense of pride to be so reliant on the means of another. She may be only one woman in a society ruled by men, but she was one woman who knew how to get what she wanted. Cecil was peripherally aware of what she did in her spare time, although he only knew it to be a hobby. The fact of the matter was that she ran a business, however, trading Baron silks for a tidy sum that she used to fund her own desires. Perhaps it was considered beneath her status, but it made her self sufficient, and, really, that was all Rosa could ask for. Plus, Cecil had enough burdens to bear without fretting about her.
