Now if we ever get there we can rate the rest of it and see if his home is anything better than him but we will see. I will not get my hopes up. What else do I have to do? Oh yes what am I going to do about the girl? Maybe I can just lose her somewhere. I will think of something but for now I need to try and get the most beauty sleep that is possible in this of blare of Olive's trumpet.

We finally pulled in the city and I cannot express my happiness at the prospect of the journey coming to an end. As to the scenery well it was not upsetting the least. I mean most people think of Bast as a dumpy and plain town but I could see that that just made it filled with opportunity.



Olive's trumpet symphony was getting old so I gave her a sharp kick. She woke-up slightly startled but if it had not been for the fact that kicked her she would have kept sleeping.

"Hattie! Why did you kick me?" Olive inquired aggressively. I replied very calmly in order to abate her aggression.

"Olive, I woke-up to tell you that we have arrived. You need to gather your things because we will arrive at the inn soon."

I picked up my purse and my cloak because it was rather cold outside. Which reminds me that girl is still out there with coachman. We can get rid of her without problem. Maybe I can send her on an errand and then she can get lost. Literally. The carriage rides to a steady stop and the footman opened the door and put down the steps.

I walk in my most dignified walk but unfortunately the clod that was so pleased with his performance was not paying attention to what he was doing and somehow manage to get my dress. My beautiful traveling dress caught between the stairs and the door of the carriage making me make a most unflattering fall to my not so graceful landing position in a clump on the ground.

Then to my complete and utter horror Olive either jumped or fell out of the carriage. It all pasted by in slow motion. Trip, clump, "AHHHHHHH!!!!!" Then darkness.



I do not know whether I screamed or Olive screamed and I think that it is a good thing that I fell unconscious for Olive's sake and mine, for I would have died, in all truth, if I had seen the crowd of people laughing. Well maybe I am dead. I can only hope.



I woke up in a room with some kind soul putting a rag to my head and talking to a doctor. So that the girl I thought it was wouldn't feel like they went to so much trouble in vain I moaned a little and groaned a little.

"Ahh little mistress! Do not be feeling sorry for your's elf. You just merely fainted." It was an man's voice who said this. I could not believe the pathetic and nasty way some people treat me! It is horrible! I have obviously been through a traumatic event the least I should get is a little sympathy.

" Ooohh!! You do not know my pain and suffering!! How could you possibly know?"

"Well so staht with it. I am wahhrioh fhom the gheat wah of the londs and I haf suffehed mohe than just a fainting fit but you are hight I do not haf the knowledge of what you ahe feeling. But what I do know is that it could haf bean a lot wohse."

I started to cry and I think the man just left. "Sehves heem hight!!!" I thought myself. Then I realized that there was someone else in the room and it wasn't Olive. It was the girl that we let ride over here. I must get rid of her she is much to pretty and her good deeds are not helping. Then the girl came over to rub my back and try to comfort me. How dare so even try when everything in my life has been a nightmare. I don't even have my own hair!!!!! But let us have a little fun while she is around.

"It is ok lady. I am sure he did not mean to be rude."

"Yeesss hhe sob sob di hih did!!!!! Heesssssssssooooooooo eee ee e villl !!!!!!"

Hey I try! I am so good this could be fun after all!

"You know that necklace I gave will make you feel better."

"You are mocking meee!!!! You are just saying that so that I will let you stay!! No body loovess mmee!!"

Come to think of it I hadn't really thought about the necklace.
