<div align="center"><em>Isabella "Bella" Prescott...or Ms. Prescott, the new housekeeper. (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82816.msg3679578#msg3679578)</em></div><br/>Bella (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_M86n2v0usLk/SUf8FYVCk6I/AAAAAAAAB6s/54NSi9bkm7Y/s400/ref1.jpg) had been late to dinner, but Mrs. Hemlock had left rather suddenly due to a family emergency, and Ms. Prescott was only able to get dressed at the last minute. Still, she managed to look every inch the lady in her red satin gown (http://www.cloakrenaissance.com/products/cloak/cloak-100008740-1s.jpg) and heeled slippers. She wore pearls, and her hair was parted in the center with the back pulled up and ringlets framing her face.<br/><br/>Entering the dining room, she had just been to the kitchen to make sure Evie was alright, and now she gracefully swept into the room. Stepping to the side, she stood by the slave girls and watched the proceedings with a discerning eye...unable to not notice all the handsome men and beautiful women. This truly was an amazing job.
