Corset and Dress.
Cassidy's PoV
"Time to wake up, Miss Cassidy. Mr Holmes is waiting for you in the sitting room, and we must make you presentable."
I was woken by the landlady, shaking me by my shoulder, oblivious to my attempts to get her to leave me alone.
"Leave me alone damn it" I finally growled. I didn't want to wake and face a day of uncertainty, in a year ere women were meant to stay at home and be good little wives.
"Well really," The lady huffed "You cant go and talk with Mr Holmes looking like some sort of scarlet woman. So get up this instant!"
Realising I was facing a losing battle and she wouldn't go away. I got unsteadily to my feet, Only to start as she wrapped something hard around my waist. I suddenly remembered my history lesson and shrieked in terror, not caring as two pairs of feet pounded towards my room.
"I'M NOT WEREING A CORSET, DAMN IT. I AM NOT GOING TO BE WRAPPED LIKE A PIG IN A BLANKET. NO WAY."
Mrs Hudson paid no attention to me what so ever, and forced me into the blasted contraption. I turned sharply as a burst of laughter sounded at the door.
Holmes was standing there, nearly creased up in laughter as I thought Mrs Hudson as she tried to force a heavy dress onto my body. Dr Watson on the other hand, went bright red and quickly excused himself.
"ILL WEAR MY OWN CLOTHES THANKS. LEAVE ME ALONE. PLEASE."
Mrs Hudson finally got the hint and dropped the dress before storming out. I could here her mumbling about young people with no sense of decency as she walked down the corridor. I turned to my Back pack at pulled out a long black skirt and T Shirt, before turning back to the door and realising Holmes was still standing there, staring at me as if I was a bug under a magnifying glass.
"Unless you expect me to get changed in fount of you, would you mind leaving and closing the door?" I asked sharply, trying to be polite but still angry after my encounter of Mrs Hudson.
"Of course. I expect you to be in the sitting room in 10 minuets. Mrs Hudson has already served breakfast."
With that he left, leaving me gapping behind him, standing with a corset half done up around my waist and my skirt from the night before on.
