Finally, she managed to find the kitchens. There was a long table across one end of the room where servants were already sitting down to eat. For a manor of this size, the staff seemed minimal. There were no more than seven people eating, chief among them seeming to be Miss Green herself, who was seated at the head of the table.
“I was beginning to think that you weren’t hungry,” she said when Amanda came into the room. The heads of the other strangers all turned to look at her, and Amanda felt her face growing red.
“I got lost,” she murmured nervously.
A couple of young women who had to be maids tittered, and Amanda sat down in an empty seat.
Miss Green cleared her throat after a minute or two.
“When Lord Ethelred returns tomorrow morning, we will be warned by the footman when he is at the drive, and we will gather in the foyer to welcome him. Miss O’Neil, I will introduce you. At which time, you will take Lady Heather to the nursery where food will be waiting for her. At some point in the evening, likely after the girl has gone to bed, I expect that Lord Ethelred will ask to see you.”
Amanda swallowed thickly and nodded.
“Be sure that you are scrubbed and neat. I assume your dress is on its way to being ready for tomorrow?”
“Yes, Madam,” Amanda said.
The young maids giggled again.
After the meal, Amanda returned to her room, only losing her way twice as she went. It seemed that she would not find a warm welcome from any of the staff of the house, and the knot of anxiety in her stomach tightened as she continued to fix the dresses.
