I own Rebekah (not Becky Sara's friend but Rebekah my nursemaid now nanny) and Marie. Also I'm not sure how old children were when they left the nursery,so I'm putting Peter and Susan back in the nursery.

Rebekah found out about the children's trips next door into Sara's attic after she spied the four of them sneaking food from the larder an hour after luncheon was over. She noticed they were headed to the attic,and she shrugged not worried about it, thinking they were probably hiding some poor stray pet up there. When she didn't hear anything for ten minutes she got curious and went to investigate. Pushing open the door,she saw no children or furry lost was about to leave when she heard several voices next door,rushing to the window,she looked outside and noticed the four of them in the attic next door.

"Who lives in the attic next door?" she demanded when she went into the kitchen.

"The little girl servant girl." Bessie the scullery maid said looking up from her pots,"Sara I think her name is."

"Why do you ask." Cook wondered.

"Because I just saw the children next door talking to that girl." Rebekah said,this would not do at all . Now that she was the new nanny things would change starting with their choice of companions.

***********************************************************************Lady Helen,may I speak with you?" Rebekah said coming into the master bedroom.

Helen turned from the vanity mirror,"Yes,of course,but first tell me which necklace do you prefer the pearls or the diamond one." she held up two necklaces.

"The diamond one. It's about the children." Rebekah said

"They aren't sick are they?" Helen asked worriedly .

"Oh no no nothing like that,but as their new nanny , I feel as if they are associating with the wrong sort of children. The kind of children who might corrupt their minds especially Master Edmund and Miss Lucy." Rebekah said.

"The children have good judgement,but if you feel if they are associating with the bad sort of children.I daresay you should talk to them." Helen said.

*********************************************************************

"You are not to associate with that girl . Do you hear me?" Rebekah asked looking at the four of them.

"Why not." Lucy asked.

"She's a servant it isn't proper for the four of you to associate with servants especially servants from other houses as your nanny I forbid it." Rebekah said," Don't ask questions just do as your told or I'll have you confined to the back to the nursery and never let me catch you going over there again or I shall whip you."

***********************************************************************

"I wish we could visit Sara." Lucy sighed looking out the window at the snow falling.

"You know we can't,it's no wishing for something you can't have. Come do your sampler." Susan beckoned Lucy over.

"I don't want to do my dumb sampler,I hate stitching,it's for poky old woman." Lucy walked over to where Susan was sitting.

"You need to learn all girls know how to stitch a sampler. When you marry you'll want to know how to do this stuff." Susan said qouting something their mother had said. Lucy however wasn't buying it.

"I'm seven,I'm not going to marry until I'm old like eighteen." Lucy said .

"I don't think Lucy getting a husband is releavant on how well she stitches a sampler." Peter said .

"Mamma says every girl should know how to stitch properly." Susan retorted.

"Makes me glad I'm not a girl." Edmund said.

"Hush." Susan said firmly,she turned back to Lucy," Lu,the stitches are too sloppy."

"I hate stitching! I hate it!" Lucy threw her sampler on the floor and ran out of the nursery. She didn't see why she had to learn stitching anyway,she would much rather learn how to kick a football or climb trees,but Mamma,Susan and Grandmamma kept telling her young ladies didn't do that acted proper and were quiet. Lucy hated it,sometimes she wished she were a boy.

***********************************************************************

Lucy didn't know visitng Sara was such a bad thing ,she was every inch a lady Susan was.

"Sara,what was your Papa's name?" Lucy asked

"Randolph Crewe." Sara said,"You best be getting back."

"I don't want to go back .I'm supposed to be stitching a sampler,I hate it." Lucy said,but she knew Sara was right so with a sigh she went back and managed to make it back to the nursery without running into Nanny or any of the other servants.

"Sara is the girl Uncle Robert is looking for !." Lucy blurted.

"Are you sure?" Peter asked.

"You went back over there,Oh Lucy what will Mamma say when Rebekah tells her." Susan cried .

"Rebekah won't tell Mamma because Rebekah won't find out." Peter said."Not unless you tell her."

"I won't tell,but I still think you ought not to have gone back up there." Susan said.

"Shall we tell Uncle Robert,then." Lucy asked.

"Tomorrow." Peter said.
