"Don't worry Milady, I'll take those up for you" said Alice, the young maid reaching out her hand towards Cora to take her luggage from her.
Cora made her way up the stairway, sweeping her hand along the golden banister while admiring the elegant house as she walked. Finally she arrived at her room, threw open the door and collapsed in a pile on the four poster bed. She was exhausted and couldn't wait to get to sleep, her mother had made her stay awake on the ferry, Cora didn't understand why but she obeyed her mother's orders as usual. Her cases were already in her room, so she took out her nightgown and placed it on the bed. Cora sat down beside her nightgown before she could get changed, she was overcome with a massive sense of worry and was absolutely terrified for what lay ahead, all she could do was sleep, and nothing else would help her at this time of night. She slipped into her nightgown and under the covers, letting her worries melt into the duvet and surely fell asleep quite soon after.
