Move quickly away from the door

You quickly stumble to your feet, turn and begin walking down the hallway. Almost at the same time, you hear the door to the couple's room open and close.

You wonder if you should have gone to your room instead.

Perhaps, you decide, it would be better to pretend not to notice. The woman looked upset in the room. Besides, you do feel a twinge of guilt for looking through the keyhole. Then again, your curiosity makes you want to turn around.

At the end of the hallway, you come to the top of the stairs. A young woman is coming up. She's quite pretty and glances at you. She doesn't smile. Perhaps she's a guest here, too. Or perhaps she's one of the ladies you noticed in the parlour.
