         When Evie hears swearing, she decides to glance inside the carriage and finds her brother writing.  The sight is so odd that she finds herself staring.
         Eventually, he feels her gaze and turns to look, frustration apparent.
         He sighs.  “I decided that it would be a good thing to teach the children to read and write—you’d be good at that part, but speaking from experience, if there’s nothing you’re motivated to read…”
         She finds herself smiling.  “So, what, you decided to provide the material?”
         “I would’ve just given them some of my penny dreadfuls, before Greenie pointed out that even if people die the amount of blood is perhaps not suited.  So I decided to adapt them, perhaps add a few of my own, but you know I’ve never liked writing…”  His expression is miserable as he rests his head gently against the stack of books.
         She laughs.  “I’ll help—and you know the children will greatly appreciate it.”
         That brings a smile and some of his enthusiasm back.
