(1) Every Saturday Morning

Every Saturday morning she would be shedding tears of joy as she excitedly chittered and chattered with her nannies and maids. The letter had arrived yesterday, the letter bearing news that he would soon return home after so many long years away. The household was a blur of buzzing anticipation as the many servants and caretakers rushed around in preparation. The letter had come from overseas, he would soon be here and we wished to greet him back home with perfection. His favorite meals were cooked, his bed freshly made and his pillows fluffed as we were ordered to do by the young mistress.
