Tarah Edwards turned down Victoria Street leading her friend Lady Elizabeth Malory to her humble household. Skipping up the stone steps, she opened the unlocked door. The hallway was carpeted a crimson red from one wall to the other. There were a few paintings and a large framed mirror on the walls."So what do you think?" She asked Elizabeth.
"Ma'am?"whispered an older woman dressed in black with an Italian accent. This was Gia, also known as Nonna (Grandmother)Gia, she had been in her family's service since her parent's marriage. She was one of the few servants of the household and served as a maid and nanny.
"Gia, could we please have some tea in the dinning room."She answered. The dinning room contained a solid oak table and chairs with detailed embroidery on the seats and was wallpapered with a light blue flower pattern.

"Thank you, my mother worked really hard to get this house the way it is. I'll be sure to tell her." A few moments later, Gia brought in a tray with a porcelain teapot and matching cups. Placing them on the table before them, she nodded and slipped out.
Tarah removed two cups and poured the tea. "How do you like your tea?"she asked placing a fruit filled biscuit on each saucer.

"I'd love to go with you." Tarah had never been inside the Almack's club before, she never had the nerve to enter. Plus she'd get to see where Elizabeth lived. Bitting into a biscuit, she somehow knew that she could trust her new friend.
