Still, Isaac was worrying for nothing—perhaps thanks to the discipline she honed from her job, Irene rode with calmness and steadiness.
Her strong guts also allowed her to take to riding like a duck to water!
She certainly loved feeling the sensation of wind against her face as she sat on the horse's back, blowing away all her worries.
"Hyah!"
She spurred her horse on whimsically, allowing it to dash over the near-boundless meadow to her heart's content!
Isaac had been worried that she would fall off her horse, and he was therefore surprised to find her riding so well.
Trotting his horse to Isaac's side, Carl asked, "Did the missus learn to ride before?"
Rarely was there a woman who could ride so quickly and steadily on their first try.
"It is her first time," Isaac replied.
Carl was naturally astonished. "Woah, she has the gift."
"Her gift is in saving people, actually."
Despite his usual attitude, Isaac had always been proud about Irene's career as a doctor.
Even if this was the epoch of capitalism, medical professionals who saved lives and cured sickness were always worthy of respect!
That actually surprised Carl further—he did not expect Isaac to marry a doctor.
After all, Carl was of the impression that doctors were always the quiet types, just as their jobs were dull.
And Isaac could have got himself any woman he wanted, given who he was!
Still, it seemed that he should change his opinion about female doctors… to think that they could let loose in such fashion!
…
Martin York had already cooked dinner when Lulu Adams arrived home from work.
Still, he was bad at it and the food was bad.
"I think we should just eat out," he said.
"Let's just finish it, or it'd be a waste," Lulu told him. "It's not that bad—you just forgot the vinegar in the brined ribs, so the meat tasted a little bland. The mashed potatoes are a little salty but not inedible, so less salt next time… the veggies are too burned to be edible though."
Martin scratched his head. "I overdid it."
