Chapter 6. Epilogue
After a week and a half, Amousca could stand with help, her great triumph, and was allowed to go back to her house. A priest would come to see her every day to make sure she was alright, and a nurse she would have to pay was coming to the Delryn's estate. Anomen gentlemanly carried her to the carriage that would lead them home. There was more than one curious face in the temple that day and everybody was craning their neck over their neighbour's shoulder to try to catch a sight of the three babies. Many of the nobles were there, since three heirs to the Delryn were born, many students too, and finally the usual gathering of curious peasants.
As they were walking towards the carriage waiting by the temple doors, Amousca heard some gossip in the far ranks of the crowd; she recognized lady Jysstev's voice easily. That damned gossip had been the worst at spreading these dreadfully insulting comments about Amousca's perceived weak constitution. Right now she was saying to her neighbour, which Amousca could not hear or see:
"Can you imagine? Three babies! It's a wonder that she survived and her babies too! What strength of health it must take…"
Amousca almost laughed. Well, where did her weak constitution go?
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
And so, this is how is concluded this piece of Amousca's life. I'd like to know what you thought of the end, so please keep reviewing :) I'm currently musing with another short episode of Amousca's life, so maybe there will be more to come. We'll see :)
