"There's so much to do before I leave. Ugh," Amelia rubbed her temple to relieve herself of stress. "I need a book to write down everything I have to do. I don't want to leave anything out and then constantly think about it in the north. First, I need some food. I cannot function without food. Gina, I'm going straight to the kitchen instead!"
"Thank goodness," Gina stopped walking at a fast pace so that Amelia and Cyrus could catch up to her. "The cook will allow me to eat if you request it. It doesn't offer the servants food after the time for it has passed. The head maid instructed him not to. Honestly, my stay here without you two might be much better if that woman is no longer around."
"She has not quit after dealing with the northerners so I highly doubt she is going anywhere," Amelia said to Gina's dismay. "You only need to stay by my grandmother's side. She will shield you from the head maid as I have. You will be fine," Amelia held Gina's hand.
