"It's time," Mavis said, clapping her hands to gather the servants. Edwin stood beside her with his hands behind his back, letting Mavis take charge. "You represent the Callahans more than ever tonight. You will serve the Callahans, the knights, and their guests without any failures. I shall fire you if you fail."
Edwin looked at Mavis because of her horrible way of encouraging the servants. It would only make a handful of them, who were working such a party for the first time, even more nervous.
"You know your positions. Those who have to walk around serving, I will be watching you all night long. Go! It is time the guest starts arriving."
"She always does this so late and then blames us when we are not at the doors to greet the guests. Here," Cara said, handing Annalise a tray of drinks to walk around with. She was still sulking over the fact that she had not gotten to dress up at all. She would have liked it if it was a party for all of the Callahan servants.
