After signing the indenture contract, you are taken back to the jail. You will sleep here one more night before meeting with the magistrate in the morning. This time, you’re put in a cell with a few other women.

“Let me guess—vagrancy?” a tall woman missing both front teeth asks you. You nod, and she introduces herself. “They call me Sweetgums” she says. Apparently all of the other women in the cell have been arrested for vagrancy too, and they are also going to be indentured servants in the colonies. “So, do you know where you’re headed yet?” Sweetgums asks. “I heard we’re going to have a choice. All the colonies need more people, especially more workers” another woman chimes in. “I guess we’ll have to wait until we see the magistrate tomorrow,” replies Sweetgums.
