The Little Town

The carriage ride came to end much later than I wanted it to. I was sick of sitting down and I was very happy when the Small Faced Man came to help us out of the carriage. A tall man came up to Lady Kate and welcomed her to the Little Town. He asked who her companions were, looking over us with a curious glance. She said we were her nieces. I didn’t know I had an aunt, so that news was especially surprising to me. The tall man then asked about the Small Faced Man, looking him over with an almost angry glare. Lady Katie dismissed him as being only her driver. She changed the subject quickly, saying something about somewhere to stay and a place to put the girls. It was all very confusing. My older sister kept tugging at my sleeve, I brushed her off. I don’t understand what could possibly be so fun about tugging my sleeve that she insisted on doing it so much.

She stopped when Lady Kate came over by us. She and the Small Faced Man led us into the Little Town. They walked us down the road to a very little house. The Small Faced Man opened the door and held it for us as all of us ladies walked inside. As he was moving Lady Kate’s bag inside, Lady Kate took us around to find us our room.

It was a small room, but I supposed it would do. We didn’t seem to have much other option; this game was taking us in a very strange direction. I didn’t like it very much. I usually shared a room with my younger sister, so it wouldn’t be very different from home- although the room we shared at home was so much larger.
