Presently, out of the corner of my eye, I could see my father's carriage pull up in front of the manor. It looked like any other carriage, black, with small signs of wear and dirt on it. Father got out, followed by a lady and two girls, whom I assumed to be her daughters. The lady had a white, curved object on her head, with green lines on it. Her dress was a beautiful light shade of blueish-green with some white accents at the top of the dress there was some white. One of the girls had a deep red colored dress on, the other a dark blue one. The one in blue had a white headpiece on, and the one in red had one on her head too. But I only had eyes for him.
"Papa!" I cried, running around the corner of the house to the front, arms outstretched.
"Oh, ho!" He said, picking me up into a hug. He kissed the top of my head. Then he put me down on the ground and said, "I had hoped to present a little lady," he inspected my appearance with a critical eye, "but I suppose you'll have to do," he finished, a smile on his face. Then a look of confusion entered his features. "Where's Gustave?" he asked, looking around for my friend.
"There, sir," I replied, pointing as a dejected Gustave with his head hung down came from around the corner of the house. He was covered with mud from head to toe. "I slaughtered him," I finished, a happy smile of success on my face.
My father laughed. "So you did," he agreed, standing behind me, his hands on my shoulders. He turned me around to face the staff and the newcomers. I reached up and grabbed his hands. We rocked slightly from side to side as he introduced the newcomers.
Danielle, meet the Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent, and her daughters, Marguerite and Jacqueline," my father said.
Both of the daughters dipped into curtsies. "Mademoiselle," they said in unison. We all went inside. I tried to escape the inevitable, but Louise and Paulette caught me and gave me a bath.
