"If we're going to explore, I'd either start in the attic or the basement.  Attics are good for things that have been stored and forgotten, and basements are usually the oldest part of the house.  And I don't think that it would serve us well to have the servants tired and accidentally burning food or such on the morrow."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><div class="floatleft">(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3985/lilianmontague.jpg)</div><strong>Lillian Montague</strong>, Library of Avonleigh [Sylria the Elf & Lillian Montague]<br/><br/>Lillian listened as Sylria spoke, nodding here and smiling there. "The girl? She's likely his daughter, or wife...or something, I suppose," she said, waving her hands to express that she didn't know. "But they're peasants, so...it's not really much of a concern one way or another, as long as the clothes are washed and the food is cooked...or in this case, the lamb is cared for before it ends up on the dining room table." Lily giggled a bit here. "If it matters to you, though, I suppose we could look into it.<br/><br/>"The lamb. couldn't we always just have it butchered for supper, and have the servants bring us the blood? Or, do you think we have to bring the beast in for the seance? Freshly spilled, do you suppose?" Lillian rubbed her trim tummy as they spoke of the lamb. Lady Lilliian's girl came in just at that moment, burdened with a platter of cheeses and fruits, and cubed pieces of bread. Precariously balanced on one small hip and in the crook of her elbow, she had a glass decanter of wine as well.<br/><br/>"Ma'am," she said, smiling politely at the two women as she artfully arranged the foodstuffs on a table in the middle of the room. "I'll be right back with the glasses," she said as she glided from the room.<br/><br/>"In any case, the idea of searching the house seems like fun to me. I don't quite recall how to get up to the attic or the basement, though. I'm sure one of the servants can tell us. Maybe Aimee can tell us when she's back."<br/><br/>Lillian moved over to the platters of food, and began to eat from them. She giggled at Sylria's comment about the servants burning food. "Brilliantly smart. See, what would I do without your advice, Sylria!"
