Whereas you had lots of names thrown upon your memory."<br/><br/>He made a sign for her to hold and went to get her a drink "Here" he said "I'm Andrew, and a Henshaw as you said"<br/><br/>"Come with me" he said and pull her up to the furniture Mrs Masters had brought and placed Elizabeth's hand on it so she could feel the firm wood "As what will go on, eventually Alice, the maid your brother took with him will be bent over this furniture like so" he demonstrated by pushing her against it, even if not making her bend forward "and will be punished publicly for tardiness... does that suit the rumors? and trust me that is just the start"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Elizabeth didn't fail to notice the fact that Andrew had remembered her own name, and appreciated the way he managed to compliment her without having to resort to verbal flattery.  She could infer from his own admission that she'd impressed him somehow, though she wondered how many other women's names he was going to the trouble to remember.  She wasn't the jealous sort, merely curious.<br/><br/>She took the drink he offered her with a smile, keeping the small glass with her as he pulled her up.  She studied the piece of furniture curiously, though she didn't touch it.  "That sort of punishment does fit the rumors, though I suppose I should call them fact now," she said, wondering just what she'd gotten herself into.<br/><br/>Before she could say anything further, she noticed Archie approach Vivienne and her companion, and worried for her sister-in-law.  It looked like Archie had been indulging quite freely with the drinks, and she wondered if he might be about to cause a scene.  Luckily he merely said he'd like to talk to Vivienne, so maybe he meant to talk to her in private.  Elizabeth hadn't been paying much attention to what had been going on, but she hadn't seen anything improper.  It would have been easy for her to miss something though, since she'd been focusing on Andrew.<br/><br/>"Is public punishment of the servants usual, then?" she asked him curiously, leaving Archie and Vivienne to their own affairs.  If she was needed, she was sure one of them would make it known, but she didn't want to interfere or seem like she was being overprotective of either of them.
