Mother's Bread
The irresistible aroma of fresh baked bread emanating from this establishment beckons the nearby residents every weekday morning. The property consists of three floors. The retail shop occupies the ground floor. The ovens are located in the stonework basement below. And the owners’ residence sits above the store.
Strangers will frequently ask for “Mother,” but locals know that she passed away some years ago, and the business is now run by her daughter (who works the storefront) and son (who works the ovens), both of whom are in their early 20’s.
The daughter’s name is Ellsabetta. She is thin, sweet and lovely, with pale blue eyes, long eyelashes, a fair complexion, blond hair, full lips, and exquisite hands. Her brother, Rainald, is quite the opposite: strong, surly and unattractive, although he is generally covered in sweat and soot so it’s hard to tell what his actual looks really are. Not surprisingly, Rainald is very protective of his sister, and he has an uncanny ability to emerge from the basement whenever a customer appears to take an interest in Ellsabetta.
A small roll costs a copper. A loaf of bread costs five. Sweet cakes and other “fancy fare” may cost a silver or more, depending.
