I am sure no one takes offence!
Can this be a returning warrior ? He seems to be wearing a bandage under his hat. I love the heedless use of the wife's(?) apron by the kneeling housemaid. Drying tears and blowing noses!
He has obviously been sorely missed by his entire family ! The boys almost try to get between their parents How sweet!
But I wonder if the young Miss has not found something more interesting on the coach roof ;-) ?? What does that text on the wall say?
