Cecelia wonders about Vesta as she heads to the princess' quarters. The princess is waiting for her in the bedroom, looking very ready to get out of her corset and hoops. </span><br/><br/>"There you are. I wondered what took you so long."

Cecelia sets about helping Taya prepare for bed. </span><br/><br/><span style="color: #40BF00">"So what laundry song shall we sing tonight?
