Chapter 3

The next morning Penelope awoke to the sound of knocking at her door.

Irene: Penelope dear are you awake if you still want to join us for our morning workout I'll have the mads help you get ready.

Penelope: oh yes I'm awake and ide still like to join you all.

Irene: all right dear I'll send the mad up and you can join us in the dining room for breakfast.

Penelope: yes mam.

Irene: all right my dear I'll be going then.

When Penelope heard the fading of her footsteps fade to sigh a breath of relief after the shock of being woken up so early. She did not have time to ponder on that thought because the moment her feet touched the cold floor as she searched for her house shoes Gwen knocked at the door requesting permission to enter. The moment Penelope called out (you may come in) Gwen went strate to work getting Penelope in her attire which consisted of a loos corset, a white blouse, a green riding cote, and some riding pants that hugged her curves and ended right at her ankles which were soon covered by high socks and knee-high riding boots this both surprised and flustered Penelope. She could hardly bring herself to the stares because she knew if she was home she would be seen as a strang scandalous act but she trusted her cousins not to play nasty pranks on her.

When Penelope finally made it to the dining room she was greeted with warm smiles and a pleasant sight of the other girls wearing clothes similar to hers Irean wore a soft green velvet. May wore a charming dark pink. And Aris had a bright blue one on.

Aris: oh Penelope you look stunning. I believe this will be a fun new experience for you.

Penelope: oh thank you and I have no doubt.

May: now why don't you hurry and join us once we are done we will start with a walk to the shorelines and back.

Penelope: oh of course. With the boys be joining us?

Irene: not this morning no. they have some paperwork to catch up on. Oh but if you're worried about safety there's no need we own all the land from the shoreline to the northern fields.

Penelope: oh well that does put my mind at ease. But I was wondering if there were other women that would be participating in similar activities.

Irene: yes lady lock will see us by the time we reach the shorelines and later for afternoon tea.

They finished their food quickly and began their journey to the shore.

Aris: after a few weeks of this your stamina should be good enough for us to do this distance at a jog.

Penelope: really

May: yes that is assuming you still want to keep joining us after today.

Penelope: I don't see why not this is quite nice so far although it may take me some time to get us to the early schedule.

Irene: I'm so happy to hear but you may say differently after the long walk we are taking today that you arent us to.

And just as Irene had said when they reached the shore a woman dressed similar to them was there and so was a table under a gazebo where they took a break and Penelope was introduced to Lady Lock who was offended for Penelope after hearing her tail for being their. Penelope was quite tired from the long walk and then the yoga that was tiering but still felt nice to stretch her body. By the end of the afternoon, Penelope slowly ate her food and said she might turn in early for the night. No one questioned her but she was reminded to drink lots of water.

Once in her room, she used the last of her strength to write Elouise about her new experience with wearing pants and doing exercise. A long with the beautiful sites. And the different foods.

Once she was done Gwen came into her room with a cup of water for Penelope to drink before bed. Penelope took the good timing to ask her if she would send her letters the next morning.

Gwen took the letters and promised her she would with a warm smile then wished her a peaceful night then left. The moment Penelope's head hit the pillow she fell asleep.
