Sir Humphrey is much struck by her beauty, offers his support and help anytime she needs anything, and orders a servant to prepare two horses so they can ride to the inn and carry her trunk.At first Mary mistakes the rude man who answers the door to be an underling, when it is actually her uncle Joss...
