It was a late summer evening when I arrived in the house hold of the De Vil's. I knocked my hand on the door of the mansion. A young girl opened the door. "Good evening." I said. The girl smiled. "Evening to you as well. I am Ana, the maid of this household." I shook her hand. "I'm Elisabeth, i'm here to see the mistress of this household. I'm here to tutor her daughter, Cruella." The maid smiled. "Of course. Madam should be waiting for you in the couching room." I stepped inside and took off my coat, hanging it up. "I'll go fetch you some warm tea." Ana said and walked down into the kitchen. "Thank you." I replied, walking into the couching room. I sat down in a chair across from the mistress as Ana slipped in and gave us our tea. "Thank you." Said the mistress. Ana left as the mistress smiled to me.
"Thank you for coming." She said. "No other tutor wished to help my daughter." I sipped my tea. "Well you are the owners of this town and rich, why wouldn't anyone wish to tutor her?" I asked. The mistress sighed. "My daughter's always been troublesome, you see. When she was old enough to go to school a while back, she wouldn't go. We brought tutors to teach her for the month. By the end of the month, or even before it was over, they would all quit." I nodded my head.
"And why is that?" I asked. "They say she would pull tricks upon them, scare them half to death." The mistress frowned. "Oh dear." I said softly. She looked at me again. "I need this tutoring to help her learn and fix her of this problem she has."
I nodded. "I understand. I shan't quit on behalf, madam." I said smiling. The mistress smiled as well. "Thank you very much dear. And for this month, or months to come, we have a bedroom set up for you." I smiled. "I must admit, I've never been treated with so much kindness. I do thank you for that, madam." The sun began to fall as I unpacked my things and changed into a comfortable night gown I found in one of the drawers of the room. I climbed into bed as Ana came in and put a glass of water next to the night stand. "You'll meet Cruella tomorrow at breakfast, and I'll make some waffles for you. Good night, madam." She said. I smiled. "No, you can just call me Elisabeth." Ana smiled back, turning out the lights. "Very well. Good night, Elisabeth."
