Ah, yes, a bath. This fellow had wanted a bath. And a good thing too, she thought. From the odors wafting about his clothes, he truly seemed to be in need of one. But then she remembered. There had been no more rooms inside, and he'd ended up in the hayloft for the night. No wonder the poor fellow looked and smelled as if he'd spent considerble time in the stables.

She shook her thoughts aside and quickly responded to him, "Miss Laurie should be able to help you. She's over there resting beside the fire. Part of her job is to turn out the upstairs rooms and keep track of who's coming and going. There may be something better available if you'd like to spend another night, or at least she can lend you to a free washtub, and give you a bit of soap to use in one of the upstairs closets."
