Stablehand.

Rosa came in and saw Charlotte and said “Char the horses need to be bed downed for the night go take care of it.” Charlotte left the house and headed over to the stable and went inside and saw the stallion and the mare. She went over and took a brush and started to rub-down the mare gently. She rubbed in the oils and then placed a light blanket over the horse. She cleaned out the stall and laid fresh hay and put clean water in the trough. She did the same for the stallion and then swept the main stable area before turning out the lights. She headed back to the house and reported back to Rosa that the horse’s had been fed and bedded down for the night.

Rosa told Charlotte she had better go to her room and get changed for midnight. Charlotte went to the maid’s room and sat on the bed and lay back. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on top of the coarse blanket. Rosa came to the room and looked in and saw Charlotte was asleep so she left her there. Rosa went upstairs and slipped into the beg bed feeling the cool silk sheets through the satin negligee. Rosa had sweet dreams of an easy life once her plan came to completion. Charlotte dreamed as well or more correctly had nightmares of serving and toiling about the mansion. She had a fitful night as she woke several times due to the nightmares.

She wondered why she was in the maid's bed then remembered her day but again fell asleep. The next time Charlotte woke it was to the sound of a voice in the room. “Ms Charlotte Ms Charlotte it is time to get up it is a new day” Charlotte looked up and saw Rosa standing there dressed in her maid’s uniform and a tray of food for Charlotte. Charlotte remembered back to yesterday and realised that the exchange was over. She ate the ham and eggs and drank the coffee and then went to the master bedroom to shower and get changed.
