Sarah looked out the window. Standing in rolling green hills and beautiful large green trees stood a large stone building. While there were trees dotted about on the grounds she could see a forest to the east of the manor. It was the forest time she had ever seen anything of this size. Even the governor's house that she worked for did not have as grand a home as this. It made Sarah wonder why Sir Hadforth even bothered living in Chiten City when he possessed this beautiful and grand place. It remedied had of a castle she once read in a book. 

The carriage made it's way down the gravel path. Around a water fountain in front of the manor to the back of the manor. Daisy and Dan were out first followed by Ellie and Sarah. They walked in through the servants entrance. The servants areas were very large. The kitchen at Eastwell was three times that of the residence in Chiten. They all found their rooms Sarah and Daisy shared a room. After the long travel everyone decided to rest before the work that would follow the next day. 

Every room had a small layer of first that had accumulated over the six months of it's vacancy. The four each decided on take that would take care of to make the work go faster. Daisy would work on anything that needed washing such as blankets and curtains. She was also cleaned the silver wear and plates. Ellie took care of the dust and fireplaces. Sarah cleaned the windows and helped dust. Dan cleaned the chandelier, candle holders and repair anything that needed to be repaired. In their time there they cleaned the rooms that would be in immediate use leaving the other rooms to be cleaned when needed and slowly thorough their other chores when everyone else would join. 

Daisy and Sarah cooked dinner for the four of them. In the evenings before the sun would set the three girls would take a walk sometimes around the house sometimes into the woods. They would pretend to be three sisters from a royal or noble household and talk about what type of man they would marry. For a short time it have them all a freedom from the every day life and worries. 

The rest of the servant staff arrived a few days after they had arrived. Fun and games were replaced by strict rules.

Two days after the rest had come to Eastwell Manor Sir Hadforth arrived. All of the servants lined up outside to greet him. He went inside directly to one of his offices. While the staff went back around the manor to the servants entrance to continue their work.   

Sir Hadforth kept to himself for most of the time. He would often leave in the morning and return at night or the next day. 

Sarah and Daisy quickly applied their old routine to this new location and they still had the same day off as they did before. Sarah planned to use her day off to search for her family. 

Sarah was unsure what Daisy did with her day off and did not ask. She would watch as Daisy would go into the woods. She would be fine almost all day and return when the sun was beginning to get low. The would have dirt in her clothes and twigs on her hair.
