A/N A small bridge chapter. This is the last chapter I've already written. So the daily updates may turn into every other day. Don't worry, I'm not going to abandon this story. Thanks for your reviews!
"Tell me again why you have to go with her Ladyship to the Abbey?"
Denker rolled her eyes at the butler standing over her as she packed an overnight bag for the Dowager Countess. Really, Spratt could be so irritating. He just couldn't leave well enough alone.
"Her Ladyship is staying the night and she wants me to go with her."
"But it's just one night!" he spluttered. "She has never taken a maid with her to the Abbey for only one night."
"I'm just doing as I'm told," she said packing the Dowager's things into the valise.
"Since when!"
Denker looked up sharply at him. He was pacing the bedroom muttering to himself. He was working himself into a right state. Well, she thought going back to her packing, let him. He was worse than child sometimes.
"It's just not done," he finally said stopping to look down at her.
"Here," she said closing the clasp on the valise and thrusting it at him. "Be a good butler and take this to the car."
She let go and he could do nothing but grasp hold of the bag. Denker smirked at him over her shoulder as she walked out of the Dowager's bedroom. She had her own overnight bag to pack. She really had no idea why she was going to the Abbey, but she wasn't going to complain. It would be one blissful night free of Spratt. She cackled to herself as she climbed the servant's stairs to her room. She would have to thank the Dowager later.
