Lady Elizabeth had no idea what it meant to love someone else. Her understanding was based on cheap romance novels and on some of the bits and pieces she overheard of other girls trying to describe it. It was something that would make you accompany the person you loved on a trip with little notice. Even if there was no clue to the destination or reason why you were traveling.
It was also the easy way to explain why the former maid was being lead down a dark corridor and a set of descending stone stairs into a creepy dark place. Tiffaney had spoke less and less as they approached their destination, and when they arrived, she stopped talking entirely.
There was a distinct lack of spookiness despite being an abandon manor. It hadn't been abandoned that long so besides some broken windows and overgrown vegetation, it was mostly intact. It was a very large estate and Tiffaney dragged her around the back of it to the rear entrance.
