The boys played with the toys as I sat with there father and he was scowling, he had been doing that on and off all day.
"It's not just what happened with Jud that is bothering you is it. Is there something wrong with Carnemore?" I questioned as I stitched one of his shirts.
"There are forces opposing us." he answered
"The Warleggan's. I should have known." I shake my head "They're trying to put you out of business. If Tessider can't have you anymore, where will you go?"
"We'll find somewhere. The whole of Cornwall doesn't yet knuckle to George, nor will I let it if I have anything to do with it." he insisted
"What could George do?" I wonder. I knew in the years past he slowly accumulated power and influence but I had a feeling I only knew the half of it.
"For now, nothing. He's leaned on Tressuedder but unless he discovers these names." he lifted up the document he was reading.
"If he did."
"He'd realise that barring myself and Henshaw all bank at Warleggan's " I snatched it from him and hid it under the table
What are you doing?" I grinned and stood up
"Hiding it, shhh." he smiled in amusement but it was short lived when we heard the bell from the mine, is was rapidly going. The two of us shared a look and Ross took off running.
"Demelza, watch the boys!" I yell and run off as well, There had been a rockfall but most came away injured. I helped patch up some of the workers well into the early evening.

When I awoke the next morning Ross was already gone, and Demelza was watching over the twins in the kitchen.
"Good morning. Master Ross thought you should sleep in after how helpful you were yesterday. I've fed the boys and your breakfast is right there." I sat down
"How long has he been gone?" I wondered
"A couple of hours." she answered then stopped. I could tell she was thinking about what to say next.
"What?" I ask digging into my food
"Zak Carter and Paul Daniel were here. I wasn't eavesdropping or the like but I did overhear that Karen Daniel is dead and Mark has gone missing." I stopped "They think he killed her. Apparently her neck was broke, Master Ross went out to run some errands concerning him." I dropped the orange back into the plate and sighed
"Feels like the whole world did a full month while i slept." I finished my breakfast and took the boys outside to play. Ross returned not long after, I exited to meet him.
"So is it true about Karen? Demelza said her neck had been broken. On purpose?" I ask
"I doubt it, though the magistrates won't think of that." he answered dis mounting and moving the reigns forward.
"And what about Mark? Have they found him yet?" I wondered
"No. The constables are out in force and your admirer Sir Hugh has called in the soldiers." he informed me.
"How?" I question
"They were in the area looking for smugglers. As a magistrate, he has the power to commandeer them." he wrapped his arm around my waist as I held onto him
"And if he's found, will they hang him?"
"And well deserve it." we turned hearing Marks voice, he turned up with his brother Paul.
"I'll leave you too it." I parted from them and took the boys inside .
