"Is that a coat?" Rose asked, disbelief in her tone. She rushed to her feet as the fire crackled behind her.
Rose took long steps toward the piles of cut wood. However, the wood didn't hold her attention; the coat did. She noticed it was atop a pile, but it didn't seem like the rest was clothes.
Rose picked up the coat first, and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. It was a black fur mantle. Was this fox fur?
Rose was in disbelief. This would cost at least a few gold coins, maybe more. She turned it around to get a closer look. What did Thomas say to the baron to get him to give her all this?
Rose looked around the house and back at the fur coat, nothing came close to it. If they wanted to purchase such an expensive item, it was likely to cost them everything they owned.
