Chapter 1
IT WAS EITHER JANUARY OR FEBUARY OF 1961, I WAS WORKING AS DOCTOR , I WAS SENT TO A MANSION , APPARENTLY A WOMAN , WHICH I DIDN´T EVEN KNOW THE NAMEOF HAD GOTTEN SICK , I HAD ONLY ACCEPTED THIS JOB BECAUSE OF THE INCREDIBLE PAY.
AS I GOT OUT OF MY CARA BEAUTIFUL MANSION STOOD BEFORE ME, THE GARDEN WAS INCREDIBLY WELL KEPT , NOT A SINGLE SPECK OF DUST WAS ONTHE CARS IN FRONT OF THE MANSION. THE MANSION WAS BIGGER THAN ANY BUILDING I HAD EVER BEEN IN , A SINGLE ONEOF THE ROOMS WAS BIGGER THAN MY ENTIRE APPARTMENT IN LONDON , MY CHEAP CAR FELTSOMEWHAT OUT OF PLACE NEXT TO SOME OF THE NICCEST CARS I HAD EVER SEEN , THAT I COULD ONLY DREAM OF OWNING , OF COURSE THESE WOULD BE THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY ABOUT 4 TIMES AS MUCH AS I NORMALY GOT PAYED. SOON I RANG THE DOORBELL AT THE FRONT OF THE MANSION , A NICE YOUNGWOMAN STOOD AT THE DOOR AND WELCOMED ME, SHE SAID :“YOU MUST BEDOCTOR OWEN , I´M THE MAID , I WILL BE SHOWING YOU AROUND THE MANSION „ AFTER SHE HAD FINISHED I SAID:“ YES , I´M DOCTOR JAMES OWEN . MAY I COME IN ?“ SHE SAID :“ OF COURSE. „ WE ENTERED THE MANOR AND SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE FAMILY WERE ALL IN THERE ROOMS SO I WOULD MEET THEM AT DINNER IN AN HOUR . I ASKED :“ I WASN´T EXPECTING TO STAY THE NIGHTORTHAT IT WOULD BE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MANSION AND COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE NAME OF THE WOMAN IS , THAT I´M SUPOST TO BE
HELPING ?“ SHE ANSWERED :“ OH YOU DON´T KNOW ? YOU´RE HERE FOR MRS REDWELL . I GUESS I SHOULD TELL YOU WHO´S HERE ,BEFORE I SHOW YOU AROUND : BESIDES ME THERE ARE THREE OTHER MAIDES , BUT YOU WON´T BE SEING THEM ALOT ,THE CHEF , MRTORRANCE ,THE BUTLER , MR THOMSON, A VERY NICE MAN , THEN THERE´S THE FAMILY , OF COURSE THERE´S MR AND MRS REDWELL , THE OWNERS OF THE HOUSE , HER TWO DAUGHTERS , BETHANY AND KARA , KARA´S BOYFRIEND SCOTT AND MR REDWELL´S BROTHER.“SHE STARTED SHOWING ME AROUND THE MANSION , THERE WERESIX MAIN ROOMS SHE SHOWED ME , EACH WITHDOORS LEADING TO OTHER ROOMS , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A WASTE OF TIME TO SHOW ME ALL THE OTHER ROOMS , AFTERALL WHY WOULD I , THE DOCTOR NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE GARAGE OR THE NINE OR SO DIFFERENT BATHROOMS WERE . FIRST WE WALKED PAST THE KITCHEN AND I WAS RIGHT THE ROOM WAS BIGGER THAN MY APPARTMENT . THEN WE WALKED THROUGH THE LIVINGROOM ,WHICH WAS VERY WARM , BECAUSE OF IT´S WONDERFUL FIREPLACE . AFTER THAT SHE SHOWED ME THE DINNING ROOM , WHICH WAS DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE LIVING ROOM , AND MR REDWELLS OFFICE , WHICH WAS A BEAUTIFUL TALLROOM ,WITH BIG WINDOWS AND A INCREDIBLE WOODEN TABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM . FINALY SHE SHOWED ME THE GREAT LIBRARY , WHICH SPANNED TWO FLOORS AND MY ROOM , I WAS EXPECTING A DUSTY SMALL ROOM ,BUT IT WAS A RELATIVLY BIG ROOM , THAT EVEN HAD IT´S OWN BATHROOM . I WENT BACK TO THE LIVINGROOMTO CALL A FEW PEOPLE AND INFORM THEM OF MY PROLONGED STAY AND SAW THE MAIDES PREPARE THE DINNER , IT LOOKED WONDERFUL .
