Starting Off

       Just then Aubrey noticed a boy of about fourteen, with short dark brown hair. When he saw Aubrey he gave a slow awkward smile and strode toward her. 

        "Aubrey Tinkam?" The boy asked as he came closer. 

        Aubrey nodded, "are you one of Mr. Tremblay's servants?"

        "Yep. I was sent to pick you up from the train station, my names Nate." He said lifting her small carpet bag. 

        "It is a pleasure to meet you Nate." Aubrey said politely. 

        Nate nodded his acknowledgement, "well we'd better get you to the house so you can get settled before Mrs. Busy Toes puts you to work."

        "Mrs. Busy Toes?" Aubrey asked puzzled as she followed Nate to a waiting cart. 

        "Shes the one in charge us servants. Her real name is Mrs. Chink but we call her Mrs. Busy Toes because shes always saying theres so much to do and telling us we'd better go do it." Nate explained.
