Mirabella was quite nervous in seeing Ebeneezer leave, and hoped that all would be well when he returned. After his departure, she got up from the bed and dressed herself properly, though did not throw out the ripped clothing. Best to keep that as some form of evidence in case the court wished to see it. She layed the crumpled pile that had once been a dress on the dresser.

As she moved into the kitchen, she gasped, finding the lunch she had been cooking before Enoch's unwelcome visit was still over the fire and now burning. She quickly put out the fire and sighed as she started to scrape the burnt contents out of the pan. Though, she didn't get too far with it because right as she scraped the first burnt piece off, in without warning, walked Goody Owlswick came in and seemed completely shocked Mirabella was out of bed.

The old woman scolded her for not resting after such an event and shooed the girl out of the kitchen to the bedroom. Mira reluctantly agreed and layed in the bed, covering herself up with the blanket as Goody closed the door leaving her to nap. Mira didn't fall asleep immediately. She curled up there, thinking about everything that had happened in less than 24 hours. She had been caught doing something 'sinful', been black mailed by none other than the preacher's son, refused her betrothed, gotten married, and then saved by her husband from the abusive man attempting to harm her. And she was so sure more new experiences would come within the next few days.

Sighing, she rested there and soon her eyes felt heavy, causing her to fall asleep.
