Chapter 5 Aboard the Titanic.

As soon as we had walked on board. A steward rushed over. He simply put our bags on a trolley and guided us down a long hallway. The door was held open , and we entered a beautiful dinning room , filled with impressive furniture and golden ornaments. The tables and chairs were full of rich , first class people who were so rich , that the womens dresses simply shone and dazzeled my sight.

" Ah Lisa , have you ever gazed upon a finer sight" asked Lady Georgina.

I smiled. " Perhaps my Lady , but only in my dreams".

Lady Georgina laughed. " You must think that, I am a rich snobbish character , but I will tell you my dear. There once was a time when Richard my husband and I were pennyless. It took many years to build our wealth Lisa. But when we did , it enabled us to live like this. Just wait till you get to my house in the States ,Lisa , you haven't seen anything yet".

" I am really gratefull Lady Georgina for this chance. I never imagined that something as wonderful as this could happen to someone like me".

" Lisa , if you work hard in life , be a good person and help those who need it , you can do anything. Believe me , I know that".

The steward walked on and we followed him to our rooms. They were magnificent. There was a lounge with drinks , a balcony looking onto the sea , a marble fire place , and two bedrooms. The steward pointed to the rooms. "Master room on the left , childrens on the right. Have a nice evening Madam".

I brought the children into their room. There was two children sized beds and one adult sized one. Sara and Conor jumped happily on theirs , and I swiftly pulled them down , before their Mother came in.

" Very good " she said. "Lisa you will sleep here with the children. There is a bathroom just beyond your bed , you can use that one. I'm sure you will want some privacy from these two".

I nodded and took my bag from the floor. I emptied it onto my bed. I took out some paper and a pen and started a letter to my Parents.

" Hmmm " I thought. What can I write about.

Conor toddled over. " What are you writting about".

" I am writting about the Titanic".

" Who are you writting to".

" My Family back home".

" Do you have any brothers like I do. He's studying law in America. He's seventeen. Mother is planning to surprise him in America. Why he doesn't even know we are coming."

" I have one sister Conor , now hush I need to write this letter".

" Will it be a long letter , Lisa."

I sighed and left down my pen. It was going to take a lot strength to stay calm on this trip , I realised.
