It was now late June. The School year had ended, and Cora was now at home everyday.
Rose wasn't working, and since Jack was out of a job, he would take his sketchbook and go to the end of the street and sketch people for a small price.

After a while, and several drawings later, Jack and Cora went back up the stairs for lunch.

Jack nodded and smiled. "I think that's a great idea? What do you say, Cora?" He asked, gently tickling her.
Cora giggled and said "yes please!
