Linda's POV:
I got Nina back to the main mansion and found Milford to relay that the letter has been delivered to the lawyer of the Lorax family.
"Did he give you a hard time?" Milford asked me when I found him at his office writing letters.
"He actually saved us. The Lady Lorax was there and saw the letter first. We were pushed out of his office when she started....voicing her displeasure." I said tactfully.
He took notice of me, his gaze was concerned and paternal.
"Did she hurt you? Lady Lorax has a habit of vocally and physically adept at making messengers uncomfortable."
"We got away before we got seriously injured, Sir."
" Hmmm. I'll have an errand boy go to Doctor Hunt's residence to give you and Nina a check-up after dinner. Thank you for your report, Linda. You did well." He smiled at me.
As I took my leave, I noticed that for all his formal and stiff ways; he does seem to care about the staff a lot. Calling a doctor for a couple of maids is usually unheard of but the Aisenburg household is said to care for their people very well.
More than most of the aristocrats who usually treat their servants like ghosts or expendable fodder.
One of the reasons why I am slowly warming up to this place.

Life without Lady Alaina left me with more time to keep track of Mrs. Yates' actions while she was gone.
Ever since my lady gave me an important task, I have been keeping track of the head maid's actions and her secret meetings with Lady Lorax diligently.
What I have found out was particularly disturbing.
My investigations led me to converse more with the main housemaids and I found out that they don't have a good opinion of the dour older lady.
