Aroused from what seemed to be a frightening dream, I moved out of the thick sheets and descended from the bed. I could hardly pace steadily so I rubbed the trace of sleep that lay on my eyes.

A chamber half-filled with darkness welcomed my sight. The shadow of the night would have consumed the room entirely if the manservant had not left a candelabrum lit on top of the desk.

I held up the stick with a hand and stepped towards the closed tapestry. The touch of the velvet fabric felt warm even though not a single coal heated up the hearth. A view of the pacific midsummer dusk brought marvel to the clear window pane as I pulled the drapes apart. The magnificent moonbeam shone brightly amongst the dark sky like a train s light in a long tunnel. The brilliant stars were also worthy of psalms like twinkling diamonds in dim mountain caves. Drowsiness somehow left me as I beheld the luminous scenery before my eyes.

I admired the empyrean atmosphere for quite a time until someone cautiously opened the door. Vigilant, I stood guarded at my place and glared the light to the unknown interloper. I watched the darkness sharply and screamed when I saw a pair of red eyes glowed within it. Afraid of the unholy creature, or whatever it is, I held the candelabrum firmly and closed my eyes with terror.

"Hush, Hush, Lady Lucilla. There's naught to cry out loud for."

Familiar with the speaker's voice, I opened my eyes and saw the butler standing before me; his genteel hands held my shoulders soft. To my surprise, I thought my cry wasn't ideal and looked away with embarrassment.

"I m fine". I answered him in a stern tone. He finally released me from his hold.

"I must beg your pardon for my intrusion, dear lady. But if I am right a young lady like you should still be reposed in your bed at this late hour, nay?" I caught him raise an eyebrow with his enquiry and comprehended it as insolence.

"Perhaps, that is true. But you cannot still enter some other person's chamber without consent and certainly if it s a woman's!" I replied peremptorily.

With the expression drawn on his visage, I understood that my sudden outburst astounded the manservant. He quickly resigned from doubt and bent his head before me. Forgive my immodest act, Lady Lucilla. I had only intended to see if coke is needed in your chamber. But worry not, I shan't intrude your night again and I shall let the earl punish me for doing so. If you would excuse me, I shall leave you now. I wish you good dreams, dear miss.

I shook my head at realizing my sauciness was at fault. Once more, I had obliged someone to pay regret and guilt for a scanty misdemeanor. Finally aware of my mistake, I scampered and stopped at his back.
