(Cassandra entered by the backdoor and sigh of relief - Mr. Lodge didn't see that she was late and maybe she could save her job at the hotel!)

(While removed her coat, she noticed Malvin passing in the room. Althought Malvin was always fine with her gamilly, she didn't wanted bring him with her troubles.)

Cassandra: Mr. Gormley...

(She try to smile but she wasn't able to hide her stress.)

Cassandra: I know, I'm late but I can explain!

(She was to worries that she not noticed if the man listened her or notice her presence and she continued her speech.)

Cassandra: We were ready to left the home this morning and I was suppose to bring Oli to the school too. But Cloud seem sick and we wasn't able to take the buggy, so I had to walk all the path and here I am now!

(She grinned about think that she already arrived late each evening at home and that would be more since the horse feel better. But she try to think about it could be worse!)

Cassandra: Did I miss something? Or can I go directly to the dinning room?

[Malvin Gormley]

(Mr. Gormley was in a hurry and had hardly heard a word of what Cassandra spoke of. But seeing her, made him stop up. Cassandra was a good friend of his and he and her had always treated each other with kindness and respect)

Malvin: Miss O'Neill, I’m sorry, I have no time. This morning Mr. Lodge has put me in quite a position. I am to work at the bank today as well as the chateau in the evening……What is the time?

(Quickly Mr. Gormley looked at a clock behind Cassandra)

Malvin: Oh no! The bank opens at 10! Oh no …..no no….How am I to make that?

(In his hand, Mr. Gormley was holding some papers. He looked briefly at them and then hasty gave them to Cassandra)

Malvin: Here! Take these. Please, would you give these to the front desk at the reception? You would be doing me a favor. I’m afraid Mr. Lodge will not approve of me by coming late. I told him I would be there as soon as I could, but I know he’s expecting me to come in on time.

(While Cassandra took a quick look at the papers which was a list of guests coming in that had made a reservation at the chateau, Mr. Gormley took his jacket from a hanger close to where Cassandra had hanged her coat. Mr. Gormley took a deep breath, he knew he was in deep stress and felt bad about putting it on Cassandra, who was already late for work)


(Sorry, but I didn’t have a picture of "Cassandra" from behind)

Cassandra didn't had time to reply that Malvin was already walking toward the door.

Cassandra: Good day Mr. Gormley...
