She never saw the carriage coming.

Death by Carriage Accident — Causes could be heart attack (Scared to Death), waiting too long for help after the accident (Death by Flies), or internal injuries (Disease).

Lucas found her, but she was so hurt...

Graham tried to move her, but she fell limp in his arms.

She was gone.

Lucas and Agnes don't interact much, but late at night they like to watch tv paintings late in the evening.

He might be young, but night owl Lucas is allowed to sleep as he pleases. His parents think it's best to allow him to make these kind of choices now. Of course, he's also free to play as he pleases.

It’s good to be back!!

Today we’re in Penrith with even more van Aalsburgs.

Graham is one of Mary and Asher’s many offspring, so he’s a full sibling with Marise Kenton, Brigham van Aalsburg, and more. Like practically everyone else in his family he took up the tradition of adopting and raising random kids that weren’t his, including his own sister after the war, along with one that is his but... well. We’ll get there.

Graham is pretty casual and aimless, but he does alright as one of the Penrith outcasts. It helps that his wife is pretty ambitious when it comes to having fun, and he lives to please. He’s actually working as an entertainer, traveling to nearby villages to sing and juggle. It’s not a bad life.

Hattie was originally a serf who grew up with no expectations of freedom... despite the fact that her entire family had banded together to save enough money to free her older sister, Alyce. But Hattie didn’t hold it against them or Alyce. Honestly, she had no real desire to rise in station, not even after the war when she was freed and had a decent shot at rising above her station. It was just sort of unappealing? She loves her husband, despite the age difference, and even loves their little blended family unit. Thankfully she’s got no sense of shame since there are some who judge them for taking in Breena.

After being orphaned during the war, Agnes Bear had a very uncertain fate. She was barely a toddler at the time and very easily could have been lost for good. Graham found her though and has raised Agnes as his own from the beginning. Trouble was, he had been a bachelor at the time with loose ideas on child raising, with a troublesome sister to also keep an eye on, so Agnes grew up to be... well. A Romance sim with some questionable behaviors. I’m very curious to see how she develops! (I need you to know she rolled a height of 6′ as an adult. I cannot WAIT.)

Now for Breena. Her mother is Azalea Siew, who actually works in the local brothel. She was raised there until she was 3 or so, when Azalea finally realized it wasn’t a good place for a child and asked Graham to take her, which he did without hesitation. Her early upbringing really impacted her though, to the point where she’s already a bit of a prude. It’ll only get worse as she ages, knowing the burden of her birth is hard to escape in such a tiny flyspeck village.

As the only boy in the house, you’d think Lucas would be fed up with having so many sisters forever hogging the tub and privy, but he’s a chip off the old block and just about as laid back as a sim can be. It helps to be a night owl so he doesn’t always deal with them during the day.

Little Nola is the newest member of the family, and she kind of terrifies me.

Brigham, I really don’t think Lucas needs to hear about how your sister strong-armed you into marriage.

As a night owl, Lucas tends to spend his mornings and early afternoons dozing - again, with full blessing of Graham and Hattie.

Lucas will reluctantly interrupt his day-napping to entertain visitors, much to said visitors confusion about the overly confident, social butterfly of a boy excitedly chatting them up despite being in his nightclothes.
