(1) Every Thursday Morning

Every Thursday morning she would have tea with the young lady from next door. The two little Mistresses were dressed in their finest according to the recent trends as they walked down the sunny path to the garden. The blonde and our raven-haired mistress were sitting and chatting as they were offered cups of tea and plates of treats from the other butlers. Soft blue eyes met deep golden ones as they spoke about the peaceful things that had happened before. The young mistress’s eyes were brighter than they had been the day before, but their brilliant shine is hardly ever there anymore.
