Annalisa winced when she was ordered to do that, knowing how stern Miss Edwards would be if she heard the use of inappropriate words or street slang. Though, it could be worse. Butler Hawkins could do something much harsher to her and he wasn't, which made the young woman eternally grateful.<br/><br/>And, another good point of the responsible man, was that his choice was just and fair seeing that situation he had in his hands. Unlike some of the other butlers she had heard from other girls that were in households like this. She shivered, remembering the stories and simply counted this as a good blessing. One that she'll have to repay to the butler soon.<br/><br/>"Yes Mr. Hawkins," she said to him, curtsying. "I will... do as you say. Good e-evening."<br/><br/>She left the kitchen with a final curtsy, wondering where to go first in search of the etiquette teacher. She had a feeling the woman would be in her bedroom but didn't want to be wrong and end up looking foolish. Well, it gave her an excuse to wander the house and stretch her legs in order to get rid of her restless energy. Another nice point of the butler.<br/><br/>Annalisa really did need to thank the man.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"I can't believe that you actually used street slang in front of Mr. Hawkins," Louis said as he tailed after his sister, who was thoroughly ignoring him while she went to Miss Edwards' bedroom. He had accidentally bumped into her while he was going to his room and, when noting how she refused to talk (and he saw how her cheeks were flaring as she bit her tongue) and made it clear she wanted to be alone, deduced quickly what had happened. "You're lucky he didn't punish you for acting so foolish."<br/><br/>Annalisa turned to look at him, finally acknowledging his presence, and made a shooing motion with her hands. She didn't talk to him because of Hawkins' orders, he realized, and didn't want him or her to be in trouble. He sighed and slowed down his pace, giving his sister room so he didn't make it worse. The best he could do was make sure she didn't do anything foolish. Again.<br/><br/>The young woman stopped at the front of the door of Miss Edwards and gave a quick knock, fidgeting where she stood. She just hoped the female tutor wouldn't be so harsh to her when she opened the door and saw her on her knees while she recited the words that made her get here in the first place.<br/><br/>Unconciously, she looked at Louis and he gave her an encouraging smile to keep her calm. Well, it<em>can't</em>get any worse. That's what she could assure herself with. What could go wrong?
