The shops had some wares on the outside - rope in particular. If they were able to tie the rope to two sturdy posts, then they could hopefully force the horses to come to a halt. Of course, they'd have to work incredibly quickly and there would be no time to debate the finer points of it. [color=#9999ff]"Take the other end of this and secure it to a pillar on this side - I'll take the far side and do the same. It should slow the horses,"[/color] Virginia told Ny, as she grabbed some rope from the supplies in front of one of the shops. She held out an end to Ny, and assuming he took it, she then sprinted across the road. She didn't make knots on a regular basis, a regret of hers since her parents had spoken of some rather intricate ones that had interesting descriptions. However, she hoped that she would be able to get her end of the rope securely fastened to the pillar. If she was unable to do so, it wouldn't matter if Ny executed his portion of this plan perfectly, but she had to have faith in herself. It was one difference she had noticed in her religion as compared to the more traditional religions of the Brits. Whereas they placed their faith in the higher powers, hoping for a miracle, Virginia knew that the Dark Mother was not going to intervene for every little thing. She had to have faith in herself, that she was capable of such a task.

If reading and writing was not required for this skill, then so be it - though Maeve still felt in her gut that those skills would make the matters of forgery far easier. Yet then the Lady Kirkpatrick gave her explanation, detailing her own experiences and Maeve's hesitation went away. Once again, the Lady Kirkpatrick seemed to have come from an eerily similar position as Maeve and defied all the odds. She nodded again, already determined to master this - if not for herself and these matters, then at least for Roisin. [color=ff6600]"Thank ye, m'lady,"[/color] Maeve responded. Lady Kirkpatrick didn't have to do this for her. Lady Kirkpatrick had already done more for Maeve then, well, almost anyone in her life had before - the only other person being her late husband. [color=ff6600]"Aye,"[/color] Maeve answered, taking the glasses and going to refill the drinks. She continued serving Lady Kirkpatrick a strong drink, figuring that the strength of her drink ought to match Lady Kirkpatrick's personality. She went and handed Lady Kirkpatrick her drink, before doubling back and fetching her own, just as there was a knock at the door. Had Millicent or her fiancé returned? If so, it was a good thing that the Lady Kirkpatrick had burned the original letter. Instead, it seemed to be a peeress - Maeve didn't recognize the surnames or the woman's father's identity. The woman then started asking about the very individuals who had been there earlier, but Maeve didn't say a word to respond. This entire situation was of interest to Lady Kirkpatrick and Maeve didn't want to mess up her employer's designs by revealing information to Colette without Lady Kirkpatrick's say so.
