Leonard, the minor merchant son of a shipping business felt foolish. He had eyed the young woman, a new maid by the name of Dawn. She looked absolutely beautiful, and his turning head led to eye contact, a bit of embarrassment, and a sprained ankle at the bottom of a flight of stairs.
Melancholy, he had to sit in bed for a few weeks, heavy books of accounts receivable his only companions. He hated it, but he was good at it. He literally had to be locked in a room to finish his work.
Nanny had chastised the new maid. "We do not make direct eye contact with the family," she said. "It can lead to what we call 'incidents', and the young master's indisposal can be certainly called one." Nanny paused. "You will attend him. He needs his foot iced, bandage changed, clothing changed, and assistance with eating and bathing. Do you understand?"
Leonard sighed, his boredom outmatched by his productivity. His stomach growled a bit. It was time for supper.
