(OOC Thread For detailed sought after positions.)
The carriage ride had been long, tediously so leaving the young woman named Mary Alvero alone with her thoughts. She had no companion for the journey and had thereby taken her time to pray. Fingers danced over the old silver chain that dangled beneath the yoke of her dress.
“Nearly there Miss!” called the driver, Mary jumped in her seat, startled from her musings she curled her fingers over the ledge of the carriage window to peer out at the passing foliage and towering trees. Soon enough they passed a gardener and his staff plucking at rich green hedges, and drew to a smooth stop upon a pale brick circle surrounding a granite fountain; atop perched a cherubic figure, relieving himself onto the layers below him, this made Mary’s eyes widen for a moment before her door was opened. “Thank you sir.” The driver nodded with a polite smile and dragged her bags down from the top of the carriage, Mary then insisted upon taking them herself.
A home one might consider a small two storied manor sprawled before the young woman, her shoulders squared she trudged forward to the servant’s entrance, bodies scurrying to and from the doorway before she pressed it open. A rather pleasantly round woman wiped her hands on her apron and planted hands on hips. “Aye? And who might you be?”
“Ma’am I’m Mary Alvero, come to interview for the position.”
“Ah! Come in, I’m Misus McCooley, I run this house.” The woman stated with authority, Pushing a pale strawberry blonde tuft of hair beneath her bonnet the woman tugged off her apron she threw it to the table. “Come with me, I expect you’ll need to set those bags somewhere before you meet the Master and his wife.” Mary was ushered along by the middle-aged woman and shown where to place her bags. “You can wash up before dinner and then you’re expected in the study. “ As they passed a large stairwell the woman jabbed a finger towards the study doors.
“Yes Ma’am.” Mary scurried along, her plum colored skirts were modest, the toes of her black little boots poking out from beneath the hemline as they went. Shown to the servant’s quarters and then allowed to freshen up the servants soon had their dinner, inviting Mary along.

Large dark eyes stared out from a mirror, taking up the primary focus of her face they were so dark they were black, framed with thick black lashes and quite expressive. Mary frowned softly, then tried to smile; though her mouth was slightly small her lips were arched like a cupids bow, almost a deep berry color. She was not wholly unattractive, though somewhat plain when her hair was pulled back as it was so often, she never wore makeup but she was content to go unnoticed as much as possible. Her skin was almost a pale sienna in color, harkening to her mother’s breeding, though she would never be as sought after as such a woman Mary had in fact managed a husband. She had changed, to give her best appearance she wore a smooth cotton dress of a dark almost charcoal blue, outdated and the bodice now snug, her breasts strained the fabric as they were held at bay. The young woman sighed and checked her hair, held modestly at the back of her head in a braided bun, she slapped her rounded cheeks briskly to bring some color to her face before straightening herself and marching from the room.
“Enter” The voice was brisk and deep, Mary quickly slid inside of the study and was waved to a small couch to the right of the man’s desk. No sooner had she smoothed her dress to sit, “You are Mary Alvaro I presume?”
“Yes Sir.” She bobbed her head and folded her hands in her lap, maintaining her best posture, while trying to maintain modesty with her ample bosom. Those black eyes traveled the room in search of the man’s wife. “Will your wife be joining us Sir?”
“No, it is none of her concern.” He simply stated, Scrutinous eyes traveled her figure, “You have very…interesting coloring. Hmm.” He grunted before moving along, “You’re letters stated that your husband indeed left you after the death of your son, that is quite unfortunate. You have my condolences.” His words seemed somewhat insincere and were rushed. “You have chosen well, there is little a woman in your situation can do for employment. You will of course care for my son as instructed.”
Mary knit dark brows together in a frown, None of her concern? she thought and looked up from her lap to take in the full visage of her employer, he was older, the grey hair atop his head was starting to thin and his handsome face had a rather hard and drawn quality. He was dressed impeccably, still in his black dinner jacket with tie snug against his throat. “Yes sir, about the instructions…”
“All will become clear in time. You will be presented with more information when appropriate. My son is of a special nature and we will require the utmost dedication and privacy in his care. Is that understood?”
“Y..yes, Mr.Taft, I understand.” Mary forced a polite smile to avoid frowning in curiosity; the situation was becoming less clear by the minute.
“Splendid, then you will see yourself to the upstairs study at the end of the hall. Good evening to you Miss Alvaro.” His dismissal was as curt as his greeting and while he turned back to his desk Mary let herself out of the study. With brows knitted she looked up to the looming staircase, it’s wood was rich in color and polished to an impeccable sheen. With a nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach Mary ascended the stairs, her black boots cushioned by the rug that hugged each step. “A babe, he is just a babe and in need of…” in need of what? She was quite uncertain by now, and her hands curled into her skirts by the time she reached the end of the hall.
Odd… she thought, Perhaps another interview? But with whom? This is growing to be a rather queer position. Mary knocked upon the heavy wood doors, they too were polished to match the stairwell, a deep and dark wood somewhat foreboding. "Come in.” a voice called .
Now she stroked her belly, though no longer extended it was soft flesh that lay beneath her dress, as her stomach clenched with anxiety she pressed into the room and stepped away from the door. She fidgeted, smoothing her skirts over thick little hips again and with the man’s ushering, moved to stand before his desk. Softly clasping her hands together before herself she looked down to his desk. He did not introduce himself and thus Mary was not left with a grand impression, his dark features though were quite fair and unassuming.
"First of all I need to confirm that you are lactating and may nurse, for that is to be your primary role."
She settled onto her heels and nodded solemnly, “Yes sir, I am still giving milk.” He seemed impatient with her answer and she looked to the man in confusion, “I beg your pardon Sir? “ This is highly irregular..should Mrs Taft not do such an inspection? If she were here. Frowning more deeply “Sir forgive my insolence but is this entirely appropriate?” She was new to such a role but still surely there was a more modest way of doing this.
