EMMA BROWN, MAID - ENTRANCE HALL<br/><br/>(http://www.animenfo.com/image/anime_1690.jpg)<br/><br/>The entrance hall has small windows that flank the door and it is an easy matter to observe who approaches, indeed the arrangement is thus for the very purpose of not inconveniencing the house's guests with unnecessary delays. No sooner did the bell jangle than George's hand was on the door handles and pulling them open. He bowed and greeted... well! Dearie me! An officer! A hussar, or possibly a dragoon... no, no, not that, too pretty a uniform. He must be a lancer, I feared. And quite dashing.<br/><br/><strong>"Excuse me, Sir. Welcome to Forest Keep, may I announce to the Master of the house who calls?"</strong>I curtsied rather too far for the officer.<br/><br/>I had in fact almost pushed George aside in my haste to be the one to greet the cavalryman.
