Chapter Three:Dinner Argument
Pulling up outside the Palace of Justice. Jaqueline held my hand as we stepped out of the carriage. She stared up," Wow." She mouthed.
I glanced down at her and smiled." What do you think?" I asked her.
" It's really big. Is it a castle?"
I chuckled." Yes it is. And here, you will treated like a princess." I said. She smiled and hugged me.
I could tell Jaqueline was nervous, as she was behind father." You will be staying here in this room. " he paused and knelt down to her, her grip on my hand tightened." Are you afraid of me, Jaqueline?" He asked. Slightly she nodded." Good." Was all he said. He stood back up and faced me." I'll send for Eliza. You go get ready for dinner." He said.
I nodded and knelt down to Jaqueline." Sis, Eliza will be nice to you. She will treat you like royalty." I said and gave her a hug." I'll see you at dinner." I said and looked back up at father. Turned and headed towards my bedroom. Entering I shut my door and ran to the window. I glanced out and looked towards the catheral. And looked for Clopin and his wagon. He was gone as was his wagon." Damn." I snapped my fingers with disappointment.
I sighed and made my way over to my wash tub, which was in the room connected to mine. Already there was my maid, Rachael pouring hot water into the wash tub. I smiled." How was your day?" I asked, throwing off my shirt and then slipping off my skirt. I climbed into the tub.
" Just like anyother Isabelle." She said. Taking up the shampoo, (Coconut)Dabbing some on her hands." Was in the market today, and bought this lovely apron." She said to me.
" Really? Well yesterday I bought a black pair of underwear." I said. She looked down at me and shook her head.
"Best not talk like that to the minister. He'll..."
" Nail me to a cross. I know Rachael. " I said. As she rubbed the shampoo in my hair. I loved the smell of coconuts. And sandlewood too.
" Is it true Ms? That you adopted a little girl as your own sister today?"She asked me.
" She was in trouble, Rachael. Her name is Jaqueline. Her entire family is dead. "
" You are too kind, Isabelle." She started.Then poured some water to rinse the shampoo from my hair.
" I finally know his name." I said.
" Who? Oh you don't mean that puppeteer? You do." I nodded.
" His name is Clopin. Rachael I like him alot. And I have a feeling he might like me back." I said. While she began to rub conditionar in my hair.
" Clopin? Hm... he seems so mysterous.How are his shows?"
" Creative, he has this puppet, that comes out of nowhere and says random things." I said. Thinking of Clopin. With a smile on my face as I took my bath.
After my bath, I dressed up in a dress imported directly from Japan. It was pure silk and colored black, I do not know why father insisted I dress dark like him. But I went with it. I had Rachael put my hair up in a high bun. She stuck some chopsticks crossed in my hair.
I suppose I should decribe my room. Well to start. My bed. It is pretty big, With Chinese silk sheets. Red velvet blanket. I had a canopy over my bed. A desk by the window, over not far by the door a vanity table. With make up, and a mirror. In my closet, Asian dresses skirts, and gowns. I love the Asian culture in case you have not yet noticed. A rug, again from Japan. This was also silky. A table with Chopsticks. A Japanese tea set, asian dishes,all glass. There was also a mask, which I like. I made. It was white and covered my whole face. It had red lips, two tiny black dots on the cheeks.With blue swirls around them. Brown eyebrows. Blue tears under the eyes. A little black dot underneath the lip. I like to wear this at the Feast of Fools. That is all I feel I need to talk about at the moment, before dinner at least.
Speaking of dinner, I usually eat by myself in my bedroom. But that evening I ate with father and Jaqueline. He kept eying Jaqueline with suspious glancing. I was amused by this. Father always felt insecure around new people. Specially someone who would assist in setting me up with a gypsy. Or he thought she assisted...well I suppose she did have a part to play.
I smiled, finally he had taken off that stupid hat of his. Even though he was going bald. Not from the back or anything but more towards the very tip. Anywho, I stared at father and decided to talk," So the Feast of Fools is coming up is a few days." I started.
" Ugh. Why must you mention that day?" He asked disgustedly.
" Well I wanted to know, can Jaqueline attend with us?" I asked.
He looked at Jaqueline," Girl, have you ever attended a feastival of drunks, theives, and rapists?" He asked. I knew he was trying to keep her from wanting to go. A long time ago he'd given up on trying to talk me out of going.
" Don't listen to him Jaqueline. He just doesn't like the festival of fools thats all." I said to her. She smiled.
" Master Frollo, may I please go? Please."Her eyes begged him.
He rolled his eyes," Very well." He said." Now, then Isabelle.You know that Benjamin Henry boy." He started.
I sighed in an annoyed manner." Yes, the butcher's eldest son.What of him?"
" I spoke to him yesterday. He wants to court you." He said.
I paused in eating and looked at him." You didn't say yes did you?" There was a silence." UGH...father! I don't like him. He doesn't even look handsome...to me at least." I said.
" Isabelle, I saw that puppet guy kiss you." Jaqueline said." Does he love you?" She asked.
Abruptly father choaked and spat out his wine." Excuse me. That rat kissed you?"
" Well...I have to addmit it was abrupt but it could have been a little bit worse." I said.
" Jaqueline dear, please go your room." He requested. Jaqueline did not have to ask to know that one of our famous father daughter fights was about to break loose. She nodded and slid from her chair she took off out of the dinningroom.
Slowly father stood," Do not give me that. ' Things could have been worse.' Isabelle." He snapped.
I shrugged and decided to humor him and fight." Well they could have! Look you have to agree that it is time for me to get married, yes?"
"That still does not mean you go and fall in love with the first man who charms you and gives you a kiss."
" Since when does love have anything to do with marriage, dad!"
" Since...listen if you are going to marry a man it will be one of my choosing not some gypsy."I rolled my eyes, and oh boy he noticed." Roll your eyes once more young lady then we'll see what happens." I was so close to doing it again, then I held back. Because last thing I wanted was to be under house arrest. Not when I finally know Clopin. I sighed. He continued." Isabelle, I am your father and while you are still living in my house you will marry a man I choose."
" Reality check, I just meet Clopin. I never thought that I would marry him." I said. Leaving him speechless as I walked out of the dinningroom. I smiled with satisfaction as I walked up the stairs and into my room. And sat down on my bed. That smile still on my face. True I did not love Clopin but I wanted to get to know him, he would make a great boyfriend though. I hope he was single.
