Louis almost dropped the book he was holding and jumped but kept his nerves. He turned around to see the pretty woman and smiled at her, tipping his head in greeting. Miss Edwards, the etiquette teacher, was strict but intelligent woman. He had accidentally seen her teach the girls a few times when he needed to talk to some of them about their lessons and he was impressed by what he saw. She was organized, cool and verbose with her sayings. A shining example of what an etiquette teacher should be, he thought.<br/><br/>"Oh yes," he said to her in a soft and gentle voice, going over to a table where he had put the papers. "Hang on, I have something you should see."<br/><br/>He picked the bundle up and walked over to where the woman was. He showed her the papers. They contained check marks on them, proclaiming their intelligence but it the papers also showed the loopy, almost indecipherable handwriting that girls had. "They are excellent learners, Miss Edwards. Smart and eager to please... though their handwriting is not the best, as you can tell here. I suppose it's because they were born from the streets and didn't need to write that this happened."<br/><br/>"And when they do attempt to be neat-" He showed one paper and showed the ink blots, smears and fingerprints left when one of the girls tried to be careful. "-it often leaves a mess that is an even worse read. They often also stain themselves when attempting to do this."<br/><br/>"I thought of teaching them the proper way to make flourish handwriting without messing the papers up, but felt like that was out of my regions." He laughed at himself, a blush spreading on his cheeks as he shook his head. "If you would be so kind Miss Edwards, I was hoping you could teach them how to write and keep neat at the same time. Hopefully, it won't be too much of a bother."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>Annalisa saw Butler Hawkins entered and quickly stood up to get what he had requested. Best to not anger the man with dillydally and be proficient as possible. She gave a quick curtsy as she passed him to get the items for what he requested, smiling brightly at him.<br/><br/>"Evening sir," she said as she poured him some tea in a cup. She then got a small loaf of bread and cut it, placing it on a plate and adding the cheese as well. She hurried to his side, presenting him the plate and cup of steaming tea and made another curtsy, careful to not spill anything on her or him. "How are you doing?"
