Millford Castle, home of the rich and powerful. At around a 30 minute coach ride from the nearby city of Greybrook, it was both close enough to remain connected to local affairs and distant enough to avoid too much hassle. And today, it was the first day for many, as the newly hired maids and serving girls made their way up the drive through the well tended gardens and into the bluestone walls of the ancient castle. Well groomed trees lined the cobblestone path on either side, clearly carefully tended into pleasing shapes by a skilled gardener.
The castle itself seemed equally well kept from the outside, a small keep of stone at the end of the driveway with a pair of wings leading off in opposite directions; as far as castles went it wasn't the largest around but it certainly made for an impressively imposing living space, a sign of wealth, status and culture not commonly found in this increasingly modern and industrious world.
As they arrived, the girls were greeted at the door by a member of the household staff, a tall girl with long wavy hair of a light orange colour wearing a pink and frilly white uniform identifying her as a maid. Welcomed into the house, the girls were shown into the foyer, a breathtaking sign of luxury and wealth; a great open space of tiled marble floor, round staircases with polished brass handrails running up either side of the room and above it all, candlelit crystal glass chandelier. Up the left staircase and through a door on the second floor, the girls were directed into a sitting room filled with finery, a number of expensive chairs sitting around a glass table, where a still hot teapot sat surrounded by dark red teacups made in the shape of roses.
Here the newly arrived maids would gather and wait and introduce themselves to one another before they officially began their duties as the newly hired household staff of Millford Castle.
