*Carolina ran a cloth along the mantlepiece, dusting carefully, picking up ornaments and delicate figurines and replacing them after buffing them with the soft flannel.*

*From the other side of the room, a sneeze echoed, followed by the sound of falling books.*
"Oh... oh, damn...."
*Olivier was attempting to pick the books back up and put them back in the correct order, sneezing all the while in the cloud of dust which had arisen.*

*Carolina turned, seeing the disarray and dust, and hurried over, helping to pick up the books.*
"Begging your pardon, monsieur--I should have dusted these first."

"Well...yes, but they are dusty, " *she pointed out, righting the stack of books and brushing her hands on her apron.*

"I wouldn't know much about the nature of any books, sir," *said Carolina quickly, bobbing a curtsey.* "Excuse me, sir--I'll finish here later, when I'll not be disturbing you."
*She turned to leave the room.*

"Oh, no, I didn't mean to get in your way; I was only picking out the book, and then I knocked them all over..." *He held up the book he'd selected.*

"It was my fault, though." *He said confusedly, tilting his head a little to the right.* "Why are you apologizing?"

"I don't know, sir," *she said, shaking her head.* "Just in case the fault was mine, as it generally is."

*He smiled a lopsided, sheepish grin.* "Well, this time it was mine. I'm Olivier, by the way."

"And your name? That is, I mean, if it's... if it's not too forward?" *He said hesitantly. Deference made him even more awkward than usual.*

*Carolina looked up at him now, puzzled more than anything. A soft frown appeared in her eyes, but she knew she must answer.*
"You are master of this house and so entitled to knowledge, sir... Carolina. My name is Carolina."
