"Yes Mr. Hawkins," Annalisa said as she went to give him a good spot on the table. Some of the staff were already done, so they were alright with leaving their spot of the table for the butler. They rather not cross the man who was close to the family. Some left for another spot of the table or for their quarters now, knowing that they'll have a full day in the morning. With the holidays were so close, it meant the guests would come and the household would be busier than ever. Might as well save energy in the coming morning.<br/><br/>Annalisa was now carefully wiping away any crumbs or spills with a rag she had found, she placed the plate and cup on the table and pulled the chair back for him. She gestured to it in a ladylike fashion, as she was taught just today, and said, "Here you go, sir. I hope this is up to your standards."<br/><br/>She took a few steps back, not wanting to intrude on his person space, while she thought of her schedule tonight. It was rather sparse for the time being, to be honest. But she wouldn't make that comment to Butler Hawkins, lest he finds a way to keep her busy.<br/><br/>"After this Mr. Hawkins," she said, "I'll go see if the lankin...<em>wife</em>of the Lord, Lady Constance to see if she needs help in anything for I was told that she called for someone. I... um, wish to be sure that it was me and I am not ne-ne-neglect my duties to the family. They've done so much for me and I wish to not ne-neglect the lovely nemmo...<em>I mean</em>, woman."<br/><br/>Annalisa struggled to not use her slang but she did and her rough, accented voice came through even though she was trying her hardest to not do so. You can take the girl out of the streets, but you cannot take the streets out of the girl. The struggle with the more fancy words were obvious, as she stammered and stuttered over them like a drunken fool.<br/><br/>"And I'll be going to the tutor, Mr. Benedict, after that. I am to have a con-conversation with him about my pro-pro-progress in my e-education. It seems I'm having proble-lems in math and in my mauley-" She covered her mouth, her face red hot in her stumbles with her tongue. "-handwriting. He said that he'll be helping me. He'll then give me some papers to answer later on when I retire to my kife... err, bed."
