Kitty's elder sister--the preceptrix who was in charge of the junior staff dormitories--smiled at Magistra Proctor slightly and addressed the other woman who'd been involved in the conversation. "Mrs Shunpike, I believe you're wanted in the laundries."

"Yes'm," said Sarah Shunpike, and pushed herself up from the table with a bit of a groan.
