She didn’t think that he would actually double her salary. Men lied routinely and he was no doubt buttering her up for something nasty later. Nick had shattered any illusions she once had about men and romance and man’s noble spirit. “Oh thank you miLord,” she told him as if she were actually going to see an extra penny in her paycheck. "You are more generous that Pontius Pilot himself." She had once heard a holy man on the street talk about the rich guvnor Pontius Pilot, a foreign lad who made good. She liked to drop famous names into her conversation, it gave her a touch of class, she thought. When he asked about a young woman, a little taller than her, she pointed to Georgiana who was now approached. “A little like her milord,” she questioned.<br/><br/><br/>A moment later Geogiana herself had joined the two. Ella blushed as the taller woman introduced herself. Where she knew how to handle a man like milord, she was always flustered by woman of a higher class than Ella had fallen. She nervously reached out at took the offered hand. “He wasn’t doing anything wrong miss,” she almost stammered. “We were just talking. I’m glad you liked my recommendations ma’am.” Ella had stolen and had forged excellent recommendations. It was nice to know they had served their purpose. She couldn’t take her eyes off the woman, finding her deeply attractive, the kind of woman that Ella didn’t dare dream of being one day except on those rare occasions when the night was darkest, the air at its most chill, and she was tucked tight in her bed and her mind was so tired that it felt free to wander into a happy place where she had a little house to herself and men and women treated her like she was somebody.<br/>
