"Only a couple of days, dear, if everything goes well, though you never can tell with trains these days, they used to be reliable. I'll be leaving tomorrow and I should be back on the 2nd, or perhaps the 3rd if poor Rachel needs more help, that girl never could cook and I doubt her father knows how to boil an egg unless it's in alcohol. Cousin Joan is going to be helping out there for a while but oh my goodness, she fries everything. Have you ever had fried porridge? I don't know how she manages that, but she does, it's a miracle she hasn't managed to fry water. And she has her own husband to take care of, too, so I do pity Rachel

She went off in the direction of her room, already mentally - and verbally - going over what she'd need to pack.
