Lizzy do you want to have a family of your own?
-Suddenly?
-Forget about it.
-Well....i never thought about it that way. But everyone have their own perspective. I want to live alone just like i always have. I am sure you have different opinion.
-True. Everyone is different huh....sigh.
Mary always stood up for me. So seeing her talking about family,i wonder if she wanted to live like other women. I feel a little sad about it. If only i could help her.
-You are up?
-Ms.Mortan?
-Can't sleep?
-Yeah.
-Lizzy do you know i was just like you.
-What do you mean?
-I used to be a bookworm like you. I read all kind of books. I also wanted to be a writer until my father suddenly passed away. Then i had no choice but to give up on that dream due to my family circumstances.
-Ah....
-Don't be sad Lizzy. You still have a chance to fulfil your dream.
-But how can i.....
-Don't worry. I am sure if you talk with the master,he can help you.
-The Master?
-Yes.
-Head maid! Head maid!
-Slow down Lilian. What happened?
-The lady has come.
-The lady?
-Yes.
-It can't be.....everyone get ready to greet the lady.
-Yes!!!!
-It's been a while Mortan. How have you been?
-I have been well my lady.
-My brother is home i suppose?
-Yes,master is still eating his breakfast.
-Go and get my luggage. I will stay here for some days.
-What do you all think?
-About what Flora?
-I mean why did the lady suddenly come here?
-Isn't it because she misses her brother?
-Gosh you don't know anything Mildred. She isn't the type to love her brother.
-Although i hate to say it but Flora is right. She is very hot tempered. Did you all see the maid she came with. She had bruises all over her body.
-(Mary isn't the type to insult someone like that. She must really be a bad woman.)
-All of you should be careful around her. Who knows what she is up to now. Even if she hit her maid,you shouldn't involve yourself. I hope you all understood my warning?
-Yes Mary!!!!
-Now get back to work everyone.
-Hmph....why does she always act like the head maid.
-You don't look too well Mortan.
-I am getting old you know.
-Hahahha....gosh. You know i don't feel like at home at all. Is it because i am no longer a unmarried woman.
-That can't be. You are always our young lady.
-Siri come here.
-Ye-s my lady.
-That girl. Did you do that?
-Why? Do you feel pity for her?
-People will gossip about it.
-It doesn't matter. I didn't eat anything. Go and bring something for me.
-Did you call master?
-Elizabeth did my sister come?
-Yes. She came to stay here for few days.
-It's suspicious.
-Pardon?
-Can you do something for me Elizabeth?
-Ah....i will try.
-Can you spy on Annie?
-The lady?
-That's right.
-(Wait why would he tell me to do that. I don't know. But maybe i can use this opportunity.) Then I also want something in return master.
-You want something? That's interesting. Tell me what you want.
-(Wow i must be insane. No,let's calm down.) Please don't misunderstand me. I just need your help on something.
-Ok what is it that you need help for?
-Can you please look at this.
-What are these?
-This is a novel.
-You wrote it?
-Yes actually i always dreamed of becoming a writer. But i am just a maid so it's not possible for me. But if someone helps me.
-I understand. I will help you.
-Wait really. Thank you very much.
-But can you really watch Annie's every move. She is very clever.
-Don't you worry my lord.
-Lizzy you seem busy these days.
-Really?
-Yeah. I can't even see you until we go to sleep. Also did you finish the story you were writing?
-Yeah.
-Oh where is it? I really want to read it.
-I am really sorry. But you will have to wait a bit.
-Gosh....
-Sorry sorry. But i promise you will be the first one to know about my book.
-By the way Lizzy,do you have bad relationship with your father. I am sorry if its look like i am meddling into your business. Its just i am curious.
-It's ok. It's nothing to hide about. Actually my mother was just a bookworm like me. She would be coped up with books all day. In the end,she didn't spend much time with father. That's why when she died,my father burned all of her books and her writings. He said,those books took away my mother's life force.
-Gosh....that was horrible.
-I didn't know whom to blame. When i started working,i grew apart from him. But I still sent him money.
-Yawn...i am so sleepy. Thanks for telling me this Lizzy. Good night.
-Good night Mary.
