Her mind went through several possible stories, before settling reluctantly on something close to the truth. Ella believed truth was the refuge of cowards and the uncreative. As a matter of firm principle, one used it as rarely as possible. Settling on her line of attack, she slid several steps closer to Albert so that she was just inside the man’s comfort zone.<br/><br/>From long practice, Ella had found that a girl who stood just a little “too” close to a man usually made conversational gambits go easier as men invariably had to suppress other thoughts at the same time. “I ran into his lordship and a ladyship type, but she was dressed more for gardening, but I guess if you’re a ladyship you can dress for gardening, and I was dusting, did I mention that I found … no I don’t think his lordship would want me telling that around, but I guess he thought I dusted well and he told me to clean his room as well, and I thought because he was a lordship I should really do what I say, but I’m much more comfortable in the kitchen and if you wanted to tell his lordship that I’m a kitchen and parlor maid girl then I wouldn’t mind so shall I just go back to dusting in the parlor and forget what his lordship said about cleaning his room, because I was a little nervous but I didn’t want to go against him, but with you telling him that I’m a parlor maid, I’m sure it’ll be all right and by the way do all of the upper staff dress o nice, I really like the cut of your coat, it remind me of my … but you don’t want to hear about him do you?” Ella paused, her eyes looking up into his, and took a deep breath in preparation for beginning her next sentence.
