This is how she met her friend and employer Zeujor Hastings. 

It didn't take long for the agency to find her the job. Ariadne had stipulated that she would take any job, so she wasn't surprised when the agency found her one right away. 

She could easily guess that it was a job that no one wanted because of the boss. But Ariadne in her broken state, could not be hurt by anything. This is what her employer turned friend understood.  Ariadne was to live with him in a large building fitted out for only one person, that is to say him, with for only company a major of man of the same age and a jovial, and discrete but very qualified housekeeper.
