In the opulent confines of the Price Mansion’s bedroom, sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the ornate furnishings. Evilyn stirred from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open as she struggled to orient herself in the unfamiliar surroundings.
At her side, a maid hurried to assist her, concern etched on her features. “Please, take care, ma’am,” she urged gently, casting a quick glance over her shoulder to signal another maid. “Inform the mistress, her special guest has awakened.” With practiced efficiency, the maid turned her attention back to Evilyn. “Let’s get you cleaned up. Some of the mistress’ clothes from her younger days ought to fit you.”
Evilyn nodded in silent acquiescence as the maids bustled around her, attending to her needs with meticulous care. They bathed her, clothed her, and deftly applied makeup, transforming her appearance with each deft stroke.
As Evilyn caught sight of her reflection in the mirror, a gasp escaped her lips. Memories flooded her mind, fleeting fragments of a photograph echoing in her consciousness. Her fingers instinctively reached for the pendant around her neck, where a miniature version of the photograph was nestled.
“My pendant!” she exclaimed, a sense of urgency coloring her tone.
The maid, Mary, turned to her with a gentle smile, her hands deftly fastening a pearl choker around Evilyn’s neck, the pendant fixed to it securely. “All set here,” Mary confirmed, her demeanor warm and reassuring.
Evilyn’s gaze lingered on her reflection, marveling at the transformation wrought by the maids’ skilled hands. “Thank you,” she murmured gratefully, her curiosity piqued. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name.”
“Mary, ma’am,” the maid replied, her tone respectful yet friendly.
As Evilyn processed the information, another detail surfaced in her mind. “I heard something about a party,” she remarked, seeking clarification.
Mary nodded, a glimmer of excitement dancing in her eyes. “I will show you to the reception parlor,” she offered, gesturing for Evilyn to follow.
With a sense of anticipation tingling in the air, the maid led Evilyn out of the bedroom and towards the heart of the mansion, where the promise of discovery and revelation awaited in the bustling parlor beyond.
