Over the next few days, Delaney battled with her upset stomach and took to eating bread and potatoes and other bland foods that wouldn't upset it. She was growing tired of being stuck in bed when there was so much that needed to be done but if she got up and started doing much, she seemed to get sick again. Then one of her servants would see her and gently send her back to bed.
Finally, a morning came when Delaney woke up and her stomach was a little uneasy but not enough to keep her in bed. Ms. Bird and Ava came up to help her dress.
"You know my Lady I think living at Honeywell has been good for you," Ms. Bird talked while she worked, "You're growing back into your old dresses again. It's slow but I can tell these that we've had taken in are starting to fit a bit snugger."
