Jewel

FROM THE FAR end of the corridor, Jewel watched Margaret blow her nose and tuck the handkerchief back into her sleeve. Then the maid squared her shoulders and came running (or was that skipping?), softly giggling all the way.

“It went all right, then?” Jewel asked when Margaret reached her.

“It went splendidly, my lady.” A wide smile spread on the girl’s face. “Is it terrible of me to think this has been fun?”

“I certainly hope not.” Jewel smiled in return. “Because if you’re terrible, I’m worse.”
