LOUISE DESJARDINS<br/><br/>He went out and I looked at the door, making sure it was closed. It had a lock but no key. His desk chair was the wrong kind to push under the handle to trap it.<em>Ah! You’re being silly! He won’t come in! This is a domestics job, not one of those weird Paris bar-club jobs…</em><br/><br/>I looked again at the uniform. Um… it didn’t seem too bad, a full knee length skirt and a high collar, long sleeves and a pretty apron. There was even a little cotton cap. It needed some hose to set it off and black shoes but… oh wait! I had my only decent pair of formal shoes in my bag. I lifted the bag to the desk and got them out, bending my legs back in turn behind me and slipping my flat deck-shoes off and putting them by the door.<br/><br/><em>Now then…</em>I hung the dress up on the door hook and reaching up between my shoulder blades drew the zip of the orange sundress down, shrugging out of it and folding it onto a spare chair. I wore a plain thin white bra and panties set under it, a little sheer, perfect in this hot weather. The panties were very brief, a half-back and string sides… I stood on tippy-toe and took the dress off it’s hanger, stepping into it from the back, my back to the desk, putting my arms in the sleeves in turn and zipping up, closing the high collar at the back of the neck with its hooks and eyes. I pushed my feet into my low heeled court shoes and adjusted the apron and all the white frilly bits. Finally I put the white cap on my head. It had a wire base and lightly gripped the hair much like a hairband. The outfit definitely needed some black hose. Or white. Yes, white would look pretty with it.<br/><br/><em>Ha! I’m a maid!</em><br/><br/>I tidied everything away, hanging my sundress on the uniform hanger and putting my big floppy white hat over it and opened the door, stepping out to find the butler in the corridor outside. I smoothed my hands down the apron, patting out some folds in the skirt and smiled at him.<br/><br/><strong>“So, Monsieur. I mean <em>Sir</em>, what would you like me to do for you?”</strong>Lifting the wide skirt hems I dipped down, adding a little curtsey as a flourish.<br/><br/>(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/Maid01_75pct.jpg)
