Monday, 3 November 1800. 12:43 a.m.
Sitting room.
Carleigh snapped her notebook shut with satisfaction and reached to her left. Only to find that her bell was missing. She checked the table next to her. No bell. Someone would pay for this....
Then she remembered where she was. This was not her mansion in New York City. She did not have a bell with which to summon her ghouls. She did not have her ghouls.
This was infuriating. Was she supposed to get up and tell everyone to come in here herself?
No, of course not. That was so beneath Carleigh's dignity it made her squirm. She had to find someone ELSE to go around and tell everyone to come in here.
She got up and stuck her head out into the hallway. "Seldes!"
The Nosferatu was just emerging from the kitchen door. He moved towards Carleigh, walking with his hands, as Ben had guessed when he met him. "Yeah Carleigh?"
"Can you be a sweetheart and tell everyone to come in here? I have important matters I need to discuss with you all." She grinned as winningly as she could.
Seldes paused for a moment. "You're trying to use Dominate on me, aren't you?"
Carleigh was dumbstruck. Was it that obvious?
The Nosferatu smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll get everyone." Seldes hobbled off in the direction of the stairs. Hopefully he could enlist the help of a few of the less posh members in rounding up the group. It wouldn't be easy; since everyone knew even by now that for Carleigh, 'discuss' meant her talking and everyone else listening respectfully. They wouldn't want to come. Oh well.....
