It was afternoon when the woman arrived in the townhouse's entryway, letting herself in without hesitation.
Of average wiry build with long brown hair, she carried one suitcase in each arm, setting them down heavily at her feet. Her outer garments were lightly covered in dust from her travels but she seemed to pay it little mind.
She loudly rang the bell, speaking in a clipped brusque tone that betrayed an odd accent to the servant that answered her summons:
"Fetch the master of the house at once. I am here to seek employ as the new household chef."

*The servant (an old butler) peered down his nose before fetching Miss Adrienne... she was the one who handled this sort of thing.*
*Adrienne, of less-than-middling height and dark hair and eyes, entered in a morning gown of good make and decent design. She walked up to Lynette.*
"Lady Adrienne d'Enjolras, pleased to meet you... the butler informs me you're here about a job?" *Straight to business, that was Adrienne in matters such as these.*

"Yes." Lynette tilted her head up slightly, making no attempt at modesty or subserviance.
She too, was all business in her attitude. Almost brutally so.
"I am Lynette Brummel, just arrived here in this city. And I am looking for a household suiting as a place to serve my cooking."

"A position as a hired chef. I see. And I assume you've heard our most recent had to leave, otherwise you would not be here?"

"I have not." Lynette's tone made it almost seem she was insulted to have to engage in such explanations. "I asked in which direction the homes of those which would enjoy finer cooking were to be found, and I went there. And now I am here. What matters it to me if a place is asking for a chef or not? I show up, I make myself known - I cook, or, otherwise, I leave. I do not waste my time looking through the...wanted ads, like a petty short-order fryer!"

*Adrienne raised an eyebrow.*
"I said nothing about wanted ads, in fact we did not place one. You're hired. Start today, have Gerard show you your room. The butler, that is."

Lynette nodded. She grabbed up her bags and gave the butler an impatient look.
"Well?"
As the poor man started to escort her off, she was heard to loudly remark: "After I drop off my things, I wish to be shown to my kitchen. Immediately."
