Sarah directed Lynn to sit again to her left as Sir DeVile' sat to her direct right.
"Now on Project HTMLCooper how is she coming along?" asked Sarah in a sudden very business like tone.
Janice Shelton started, "She is adjusting well to her lifestyle. Her decline in mental abilities seem to have leveled off with little loss of memory patterns. She eats well and has accepted the limited diet of Hay, mixed grains, and was just today learning to lip groop at grass. Her body has gained sound muscle and mass with her acceptance of her status. I believe she is out of the woods and in a month can be bred."
"Fine very fine work, I expect nothing else but always glad to hear we are doing well at the farm operation." said Sarah.
"Ken!" Sir Lusious Natas DeVile' spoke up. "Why were you last night so late coming in from mare barn two? The security camera was turrned off in that barn for some reason! You have a responsibility to this operation to be objective about what he do so very well. Those volun... ahh mares needs are your main reason for employment here, I suggest in the morning you visit me in my office for a private conversation!"
"Oh NO, Sarah I don't like what he is thinking! I remember well Duane Simmons and his meeting with Sir DeVile' last spring and I'm not planning to end up working my life away at Mackinaw Island like Duane. That poor bastard knew his demotion was permanant and I've traveled to visit him. He is living in the poorest of conditions with little consideration for his ole' self. I'll quit and leave here before I accept a position like Duane has!"
"Now Ken don't be so hasty, think of where you are and how much I've trusted your work over the last three years. I will direct Lusious not to send you to any demotion like that Duane! Indeed I forsee your continued work right here, Lusious feels you need to be corrected in your attitude toward our new projects, that's all!" said Sarah in a soft and considerate manner.
"All right, 9:00 a.m. then, Sir?" asked Ken.
"Make it 7:30, before breakfast please!" said Sir Lusious.
"Now that's covered does anyone have some questions?" asked Sarah.
"I do!" spouted Joyce. "I have a request for information from the Delaware Missing Persons Bureau, it seems......"
"Not now Joyce in my office in ten minutes please!" said Sarah being quick and short. "Enough for tonight, our new employee needs her rest and we have a big week ahead of us showing her new duties, right?"
Everyone agreed as they stood up and walked to their rooms in the large house. Lynn offered a good night and walked to her room. As Sarah, Sir DeVile', and Joyce Carpenter went to Sarah's study.
Lynn began hearing loud talk coming from the other room which happened to be Sarah's study. Lynn walked close to the wall and then noted the voices came from the heat duct near the floor. Kneeling down she wondered what all the fuss was about.
"Sarah you can't accept me cover up Lusious's personal vendetta toward women of his evil past. These Missing Persons Bureau are beginning to track those women and man to this farm operation. I can lie with the best of any salesman but these investagators are getting very close to the truth. Indeed the man Lusious accepted into the program was checking on Mary Jo whatsit' and had broken into you confidential records. He was about to report when lucky over there drugged him and sent him over to Frank Marquette as a Dutch Draftie. I want you to promise me that we start accepting only women with no relatives living and maybe consider homeless street people for voluntees in the future." said Joyce in a disgusted way.
"Possible, what do you think Lusious?" aske Sarah.
"Hmmmm!" grumbled Lusious. "What of Misses Adams, where shall she fit into the employment status around here?"
"Ha, she will become a true asset to the operation in time just as so many before her have come and found a new way of life. She is young enough to adjust to the lifestyle and I'm told her Husband is soon to be transfered here with a willing understanding in breeding techinque." said Sarah with pride.
Lynn listened and wondered as the furnace fan kicked in dust blew up her nose and issued a loud sneeze.
"What's that!" said Sarah.
