"I saw it as clearly as I see you standing there now."
Tilly had been strolling through the streets of London followed by a helpful but very slow walking maid who had insisted on carrying all the boxes by herself, despite the young girl's attempt to help. It was not very lady like, the maid would say every time she tried to remove one of the boxes that carried a new attire for the ball from her hands. Ahead in her trail, Tilly stopped abruptly when she heard raised voices up ahead. Curiosity piqued and she hurried towards the sound, only to find a man confronting another that seemed from a very higher class. Hidden from them, Tilly could hear a few words - the first man was demanding payment for the nobleman's gambling debts, and he was not being very kind about it. She looked behind, noticing her maid engaging in conversation with some other woman. As Tilly watched from the shadows, the situation quickly escalated. The man drew what appeared to be some kind of weapon and pointed it at the nobleman, who was clearly terrified. Tilly's heart raced as she realized that she was witnessing a dangerous situation and that perhaps she should have walked slower after all. After the tense exchange, the nobleman reached into his pocket with a shaky hand and pulled out a small pouch of coins, which he handed over to the other man. Letting out a breath she didn't know she had been holding the entire time, the Marchioness watched as the attacker examined the pouch for a moment, then nodded his head and slipped the coins into his pocket. He is leaving, she thought, relief taking over her, which meant she could also abandon her hiding spot. Everything seemed to be going well until she placed her right foot in the wrong place and a small scream left her mouth when her hands hit the floor, trying to protect her face. Tilly had tripped and all the fuss had announced her presence in a very ungracious way to the very dangerous man. One thing she was certain about, things were about to get ugly for her. ★ faiLong story short, it was a bad time;
