Teddy's auditioned at the Opera, to get a job there, and Scarlett's started working for a couple of other families.

"Working? Doing what?" he demanded. He hated the idea of his little girl working, even if it was necessary.

Sexing them all until the break of dawn. She's a housekeeper for one and a minor maid for the other. *She couldn't stand how hard her children were already working- they shouldn't have to deal with this.*

He shut his eyes. "Oh my God. I can't imagine her... Wow."

I know, I can't even... *She sighed.* But it's...it's good work, and at least it can take her mind off...off of everything. *She bit her lip lightly.* She's been very quiet since she got back here- very quiet. It's strange.

"She's probably just in shock. It wasn't gradual for her like it was for us."

I suppose. *Her hand returned ot her mout as she chewed her nails again.* It's just...she tells Teddy everything. They're practially inseperable. But they haven't really seen each other or talked- a least, not that I know of- since she got back.

"What are you trying to say? Do you think something happened at Manderley?"

*She shrugged slightly.* I don't know. I just think it's odd for her to not be spending all of her free time with him, instead of just locking herself in her room. But...maybe you're right. Maybe it's just shock.

"Do you think I should go talk to her?"

You could try. *She bit her lip.* But- don't do that thing.

"What thing?"

You know, that thing. The thing you do when you're trying to subtly maipulate people into telling you stuff. Be genuinely interested and sympathetic. Oh, and don't do that freakout thing that you do. When you freak out. Just...stay calm and sympathetic.

He nodded. "Alright. Wish me luck!" he said, getting up and heading to her room.

**NEW DAY**
*For once, she had a quiet moment, and she sat reading the newspaper. She frowned at the troubling news that lay within--unrest in Paris and other parts of France. Rumblings of something ominous in the distance. She didn't like the way the wind was blowing, not one bit. If fighting broke out, her family would be in danger. But it was too soon for worry, really. Maybe things would work out.
Somewhere, deep down, she had a feeling that she was wrong.*
