"Ye've been working all day. Plus ye spent a good while with Master Edward coaxing him ta eat at lunch. Though that should get a bit easier, the new cook has been hired on just ta make sure he eats. So ye can focus on any plans ye might have ta try and help him when ye aren't working." Which was the big part of why Ruth had gotten the job, if she could coax Edward out of his depression enough to do things like eat and sleep then she was worth hiring in Ambrose's eyes.
