Mary was happy to be back home. She lied on her bed, reading a book she had read a million times.

She suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Mary placed her book on the bedside table and went to fetch the door.

She opened up the door to reveal, to Mary's surprise, Henry Porter.

Mary looked at him for a moment. He looked tired, sleepless. He had almost translucent skin under his eyes and his close were

stained with mud.

"Mr. Porter, please come inside. I was not expecting you,"said Mary, remembering how to act to men of noble class.

Henry nodded and walked inside the cottage. He seated himself on the cream colored, silk couch.

There was an awkward silence between the two as Mary sat down beside him.

Henry seemed almost in a hurry, yet he was going nowhere.

"Mr. Porter, would you like some tea?" she asked.

Henry cleared his throat,"Um, yes. That would be kind."

Mary nodded and rang for Harriet, one of their cooks.

A girl with blonde hair and brown eyes entered,"Yes, miss?"

"Harriet, would you please fetch Mr. Porter and I some tea?"

"'Course, miss."

"Thank you."

Henry looked at her like she had gone mad,"Why do you treat your servants so kindly?"

Mary quickly made a comeback,"Why do you wish to treat them cruely?"

"I never said I did."

"Well if you don't, then do not assume I do any different."

Henry made a silent laugh,"You really are a different one, aren't you, Miss Bennet?"

Mary frowned at this. BVlandly she said,"So I've been told."

Henry looked at her,"I did not mean it in a cold way, Miss Bennet."

"Of course not. Like I am to believe that you have changed since the party at my dear sister's home."

"Mary, I have changed since then, but not in the way you think."

"Right,"said Mary, rolling her eyes."Please, Mr. Porter. Will you just leave my home. Out of kindness."

Henry slowly nodded and then set a letter on the table beside the couch,"I had come to bring this to you."

Mary turned away. Moments later, she heard the door slam shut.

Then, Harriet entered the room,"Tea, miss?"

And Mary broke into tears.

Okay, wow. That must have been pretty awkward for Harriet, huh? Well tell me what you think in a review please.
