The Lawyer

[Thunderer]

An old servant woman leered at Elizabeth behind her back. She must have already spoken with the servant from before, and what happened in Steiner's office wasn't exactly silent or inconspicuous. She resented having to do chores for her, but orders were orders, and among house servant circles it was considered a privilege and a generally relaxed job to work for the Steiners. Superficially, Elizabeth pretended to be a woman of the high society, and privately, she would convince herself that she cared about the common man, but in truth, after everything that had happened in the last few years, she was no longer sure what she cared about. She would certainly not care about this particular servant woman, even if she saw her. These were thoughts for bathrooms, pubs and national assemblies.

I will take a bath alone, I will dine alone and I will sleep alone. You need to sleep this over. It's best we talk in the morning.
