Belle looked at it, and smiled " OK we can more then do that" She said lightly as she dried her hands having finished cleaning the dishes.

Jeane looked at her confused.
What do you mean Belle? she asked.

Belle chuckled as she read it, " its just a figure of speech" she said lightly " it means we can be back with more then enough time to spare"

She smiled.
Oh, I see...sorry. Have you found my doll yet Belle? sorry for asking so suddenly. she wrote and took Belle's arm and walked to the front door of the castle that led outside.

Belle shook her head " no I'm sorry but don't worry I'm sure it'll turn up" She said reassuringly to the girl

Jeane nodded.
Let's go to the market then..... she wrote and smiled.
The beast watched them leave from the library window.
"Jeane seems upset...the question is...from what?"he asked himself and then heard a knock on the door.
"Enter!"he called.
Eofe entered.
"M'lord, is there anything you need at the moment?"she asked curtsying.
He bowed and nodded.
"What I need is for the castle to be clean and someone to weed and water the garden.
two will be outside, and the rest will be inside. Eofe, you must stay inside and clean this library...Russi and Shana will be outside...you can have Milly help you in arranging the books in alphabetical order...Tabatha and Tori will clean the parlour. The ball room is left to Belle and Jeane...and the last two...which are Nel, and Rebbeca will clean the rooms and tend the beds making them look neat. That's all for today...oh and when Belle and Jeane return, after they finish cleaning the Ballroom, you must make food...get to it."he ordered and left.
"Right away M'lord!"she said curtsying and ran to give everyone their orders. Pretty soon, everyone was bustling and doing their tasks.

Belle walked along at a nice easy pace along side Jean, she gave a small smile as she was out of the castle.

There is such a nice breeze today, Belle?....I'm sorry I can't talk...but I just want to let you know that I'm glad I met you! she wrote smiling. The wind gently blew their hairs and ruffled their dresses.
When we get back home....I believe M'Lord will be waiting for us...food should also be waiting for us. she added and handed the piece of paper to Belle careful not to let go soon for the wind to blow it away.

She smiled as she read what was written, "Its alright Jean you shouldn't feel badly for not being able to speak. you still commuicat quite well through the written word." She said said witha smile ebfore reading teh rest " oh I wonder what they will make for dinner?" she mused lightly trying to keeo the converstation flowing

Thanks....sometimes I wish I could speak...but I like being mute more...
I don't know eathier...but some soup sounds good right now. what do you feel like eating? she asked passing the paper to Belle. Soon they got to the market and entered.
