you: Master, Clara is my sister, she is strong and a hard worker, please, do not let her be sold to anyone else. Because you are a faithful squire, your master purchases her but only after you agree to surrender three months wages for her. She is delivered to your masters manor. You are there to receive her Clara: you! She shouts, She runs over to hug you, the traces of tears are evident through the dust on her face. I don’t understand, how?
you: I asked my master to buy you, it cost me three months wages as well but now I know you are safe. These are good people and you will be treated well.
Clara: Oh you, I thought I would be sold and have to marry someone who would rape me. Thank you. What will my position be here?
you: You are to be the wife of the squire.
Clara: Who is this squire that I must marry?
