... I'll be better. Please, please don't give up on me!'

'But, Alice, sweet child. I fear that my tender feelings towards you have meant that I have been too gentle on you, and it may take a far firmer hand than mine to correct such ingrained behaviour. Perhaps the nuns will succeed where I have failed?' He gave her a sad smile as he gently pried her grasping fingers from his vestments and stepped away.

Crawling after him, tears now flowing unchecked down her cheeks, she begged all the more piteously. 'Please, Father, please let me prove myself to you. Be harsher on me, spare me no mercy.' She fell to sobbing at his feet, her shoulders shaking as her hands clasped in supplication. 'I... I love you!'

'You love me? And yet... wasn't it the blacksmith that you loved only yesternight?' Edmund rebuffed her coldly.

'No, Father, that was a mistake, I...'

'Indeed, it was. A mistake that very nearly ruined you! Do you realise if I hadn't arrived when I did you would now be a fallen woman? No upstanding man would wish to marry you then. I could scarcely be seen to house a common strumpet, so you'd be out on the street. Or worse. What in the name of God were you thinking, girl?' he berated her harshly.

After allowing her to cry wretchedly for several minutes, Edmund gripped her chin and forced her watery eyes to him.

'I suppose there might be a way that your virtue could be preserved and your standing in the community remain untarnished.' Alice blinked away the tears and looked up hopefully. 'However, it is a hard path, and it may be best not to start on such a challenging journey.'

'Anything, Father. I would undergo any trial to prove myself worthy of remaining by your side.'

'Hmmm.' Edmund paced for long minutes as he eyed the young woman kneeling on the cold pavers, watching him through tear-clumped lashes as though he held the answer to her prayers. He let her stew - the consequences of her wicked behaviour weighing upon those narrow shoulders until she was almost hyperventilating with desperation. Good. He wanted her to be so grateful for a lifeline to save her from the cruel Sisters that she would beg him for her bondage into chastity.

Perhaps she was there now.

'If I were to allow you to stay in my house, you would need to take the ultimate step to submit yourself to my ...
