- A half-dozen house slaves were waiting anxiously at the corner of the house when Justin rode up to Les Chenes. He noted with surprise that his father was on the portico. Jean-Baptiste was a firm believer in letting sons come to him, never the other way round. He tossed the reins to a waiting groom and ran up the steps.
“What is it?”
Jean-Baptiste spoke stiffly. “Your wife has come to term before her time. The midwife is with her now.” He frowned. “You should have been here.” - Fuente del contexto
