EMMA BROWN, MAID - BAMBOO BEDROOM<br/><br/>(http://www.animenfo.com/image/anime_1690.jpg)<br/><br/>After I had seen the dashing cavalry officer to his room and George had brought in his saddlebags I waited until the footman had departed.<br/><br/><strong>"I apologise, sir, that His Lordship and Her Ladyship are unable to greet you. They are out riding. They went out shortly before you arrived. Dinner is at eight and drinks served in the library at seven. Formal dress if you please, sir. If you wish some refreshment now after your journey I can bring something up, sir."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Should you wish to, you are free to wander the house. I believe Mr. Menate is in the drawing room and the billiards room is free. As for His Lordships sons I believe they are entertaining some lady guests."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"There are of course, also the girls in the harem. Should you wish one to serve you I can have one sent up."</strong><br/><br/>The gentleman was evidently not in need of any immediate refreshment and leaving him to his devices - perhaps a nap after his journey? - I withdrew (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82889.msg3667703#msg3667703).<br/>
