I was a young woman during another era. I had a brother but I suspect we were orphaned since no mention of parents. And we were in the merchant class. My brother needed to get to another city, but we could not afford to pay for him to get there. And he was still a child and unable to work for his fare. Maybe he was sick? A merchant agreed to take him if I slept with him. I thought that this was ok, after all I was not a lady and thus there was no expectation of my being a virgin on my wedding night. In the future I hoped to be able to pay in other ways but now I could not.
