All hell had broken loose at the Van Estate, for the viscountess was to arrive today, and everything had to be perfect. The halls were no longer baron, they were now flooded with servants that Caroline would not have met, or even seen, under ordinary circumstances.
This morning she was woken up by not just Milly. Three other maids, whose names she didn’t have time to catch, we’re there with her. Upon opening her eyes, Caroline was immediately thrown into the bath. And despite her protests, two maids had accompanied her. Caroline stripped into her undergarments, before stepping into the large metal tub. Then they thoroughly scrubbed her body, with vinegar water, until she was deemed clean. Caroline steps out, and quickly brushes her teeth, with a cup of clean water. It’s sour, like vinegar, but she endures it. After this, she was quickly taken back to her bed-chamber.
