I used the key that mother had dropped and unlocked myself I knew mother never ever locked the basement door as she believed that i would never get out of my cell i waited until mother and father went to bed and the servents went home once i saw the coast was clear i took some money out of fathers wallet and i went into mother room.
I walked super quietly so i didn't wake them up i then took some of mothers jewellery i went to my room taking out a small bag i packed the veil and long black dress and i put all of mothers jewellery and fathers money into it i also packed my great grandmother locket and some make up and i climbed out of the window.
I changed into the dress and the veil and wore my grandmother locket before making my way to the ship yard i watched peopl closely they gave money to a man behind a small window and he gave them a paper i went next and the man said
Man-"yes ma'am where do you want a ticket to"
Clarissa-"i am sorry but what is a ticket and what does it do"
Man-"Ma'am you must be new here well a ticket is like a pass you give me money and i give you this pass so you can take a ship out of here"
Clarissa thought about it and remembered that she left her parents home to be free and independent she asked the man to make her ticket very far she paid him 80 dollars and she boarded the ship she got a comfortable room and just waited for the midnight clock chime and she wished herself a happy birthday.
Clarissa then fell asleep by the lulling of the waves and she slept very deeply only to be woken up by people yelling that the ship was sinking people pushed each other just so that they could get into the life boats.
one man pushed clarissa hard making her fall to the ground where she found a ad for a live in cleaner on a island that she had never heard of but she decided to go anyway thats if she survived this sinking ship but luckly for her a man who wore gloves and a long coat with a hat on.
He had approached her and he told her that he knew where the island was clarissa thanked him but as she did she noticed that the man was trying to see her face but due to her thick veil he could not see it.
Clarissa then jumped into his boat and he started the motor clarissa held onto her bag tightly taking out notes to pay him but he refused he told her he worked for the royal family on the island and he was taught not to take money off a person of employement especially if she was a woman as the royal family reapected young girls and women and believed that they are like gifts from heaven.
