Going back in time

Opening a portal to a time when the castle will be empty Morrigan sends Moll and Maureen back. Astila showed them on the computer which balcony he saw Aisling. When the portal open they are just outside of the castle walls. There is a farmer's cottage not far from the castle. Heading towards the castle they look around for any signs of a fallen one. Not having any reactions from the gems they wear they continue on. Except for a few groundskeepers no one is there. Reaching  out her hand to open the door Maureen is stopped by a voice behind them

"Are you the new chamber maids. The master is due back and the castle is in need of cleaning?" The man walking up the hill asks.Taking the chance to get inside without problem , Maureen turns and smiles.

"Yes we are do you need to see our references?" Maureen asks.
