And you were a girl child to be married off to some old lord when the time came.

So he always let the old lord win - just.

Another woman held a wine cup to the old lord's lips.

If the older lord requested such a meeting, he had his reasons.

He didn't glance in the direction of the old lord.

But he must have thought it wrong that the old Lord should go back on his bargain.

Instead, they all attended the funeral of their old lord.

"The old lord, he told me take care of you."

"If the old lord died," she said suddenly, "we should have no need to trouble any more."

The old Lord had obviously not been expecting that answer.
