Mary was new to the household; and she had been working there for a month or so now. And the strange thing was; she had never met the doctor once. But she had seen him; walking around to his lab across from the house, or seen him in the hallway but she had never spoke to him or walked up to him. And right now; she was simply leaning against the counter in the kitchen, cutting up onions and carrots for the Doctor's dinner. But her ears were perked as she was listening to an interesting conversation going on on the other side of the kitchen. A conversation she was very interested in.

"His name is Mr. Hyde! I've only seen a glimpse of him in the doctor's office! He truly looks like a dark man." the lead maid said; Mrs. Alberten. [Made it up] Mrs. Alberten was a chubby short lady who was like a mother figure to Mary; and was always there for her, helping her out alot since she was new to the household and she taught her tricks and things to how to work around the house.

"Mmm... I bet he's a formal man. To be an assistant of the doctor he would need to have a scientific interest and a formal dress." the butler said, a stiff and stuck up old man that didn't find Mary appealing and had been sort of rough on her. Mary kept chopping up the onions and carrots, sighing a bit as she kept listening and she poured the vegetables into the large pot on the stove.

"I heard he was staying at that snotty woman's place... where they have those prostitutes. I heard he was making a huge mess there." said another maid; one a bit older then Mary who shared a bed with her, and her name was Laura. Mary kept cutting and she then would put her knife down and wipe some sweat off her forehead.

"Mary. Would you please take that tea and bread to the Doctor's office. It's almost time for him to have his tea and snacks." Mrs. Alberten said sweetly. Mary had never delivered the tray to the Doctor's office. Mary picked up the elegant silver tray and made her way down the hallway and up a flight of stairs and down another hallway to a half open door. She walked inside, looking around the large office where she saw so many books and artifacts and elegant furniture. She slowly walked to a table in front of a cough and set the tray down and stood up straight, looking around.
