The Grand Travel

Chapter Two; The Madam and The Servant in The New York Port

Sitting waiting for the ship that would take them to Liverpool, The Madam and The Servant, with the Madam's large sun hat catching the eyes of children, alongside with her beautiful, red dress, with the addition of her fur coat made her look like the riches' lady in the port, most likely true. The Servant wore a silky three piece suit along with a bowler cap, dressing for his best is needed for his job, and it was never something he complained about.

"Lovely morning breeze Madam, you could enjoy a good book or two as we pass time moving along the great waves." The Servant said, looking out at the ship that would take them to Liverpool is arriving and preparing for its guest

"My dear Servant, with a sea this great I doubt I'll be able to read, the view is grand and smooth, anyone would want to see it, and no one would want to avoid it." The Madam said as she brushed her polished aging blond hair, it was as long to merely hit her shoulder, her gloves are long enough to hit her biceps, amber like earring and a shiny, wonderful pearl necklace

"Of course Madam, the sea truly is a miraculous creation of the world, the travel from Virginia to New York was rather a smooth trip, many structures made from the hands of workers, the nature was pleasing to view as well, sadly I couldn't view much because vehicle we were in, of course, the breeze was quite cooling, but not as cooling as this breeze here-"

"The world is such a strange thing isn't, A matter of the place we call Earth, being this centerpiece where we prosper and thrive, a beautiful thing that we manage to adapt to the cruel punishment the world has giving our ancestors, that would soon be forgotten easily." The Madam said as she stood up to fix her wondrous dress, fixed her sunhat and sat down once again, "The society we live in thrive, we continue replacing the bolts and screws that keep a box close, the box that would unleash the terror, panic, hatred of the world, missing a bolt would seem like nothing, but truthfully, it led us into seeing what truly us inside the box that everyone has created." The Madam took a deep breath and she started to mess with her hair again, humming the tune of Gymnopédie No. 1, The Servant fixed his hat, mostly in confusion for her random burst of a monolog. Time simply passed as she hummed the tune, such a calming yet eerie like tune, seeming calm and quiet, yet unsafe of something, like something is aiming a weapon of some sort in the back of your head without you knowing.

Time passed again for the boat to prepare for its new passengers, the port filled up with many faces, man, ladies, children, elderly, adolescents, elites, middle-class, few low-classes. The Madam seemed to just continue doing nothing but mess with her hair, moving her eyes at her Servant and his journal, the Servant was scribbling down the travel from Virginia to New York.

"Writing down the wonders I presume dear boy?" The journal from her view is about to be used up, a journal with no more than five-hundred pages, he's about four-hundred and twenty-one pages, already completed two journals already, each five-hundred pages as well, all filled with nothing but his magnificent cursive words, all with just letters, stories, quotes, poems, life-teaching he has learned,

"Yes Madam, I never could afford journals back at my own home, I have gotten a bit greedy with your wealth that you have given me for working with you."

"It isn't greed, its human nature, you've gotten the wealth you needed from your hard work, nothing will be unnoticed my dear Servant, everything will be awarded, if it would be now or later in the future." She brushed her lap as the boat started to lower the plank that would allow the passengers to enter

"All aboard the ship, watch your steps!" The Captain shouted out as he walked back to his station. Soon the rush to the ship commenced, the Servant closed his journal and stood up, taking out his hand to lift the Madam up, they both started to walk up to the boat, Servant carrying the luggage and the Madam holding onto her sunhat. The Servant didn't want to drop anything since it would be a struggle not for him, but everyone else, most importantly, The Madam.

"Make sure to find the room 319, I would be looking out onto the sea, once you find the room look for me on the dock, yes my Servant?" Madam says as she slightly looks behind to look at the Servant, who nodded as he carried the luggage.

Once the passengers were in, the plank was moved to allow access for the ship to go, the crew of the boat hurried back and forth, working hard to make sure setting sail is smooth, The Servant walking with The Madam soon split up with her to head towards her cabin to lay her items down. Going down the stairs was difficult for the Servant since the weight of the luggage could easily tumble him down, he needed to make sure not to let the luggage itself to be damaged, nor the items in it.

"310...311...312..." The Servant said to mumbled to himself, trying to search for the correct room, once he finds Madam's Cabin he would need to search for his own since it would certainly be a bit taboo for a Servant and a Woman to sleep within in the same room. Once the Servant found the room he laid everything that was needed for the Madam, which was almost a large percentage of items inside the luggage, once finished with that he had to find his own cabin.

"802, this is a real exercise..." The Servant mumbled to himself, soon taking, a single, brown, smooth suitcase and walked towards his room.

The sun soon started to set, leaving a beautiful view for the Madam who was looking out onto the ocean. She was talking to herself, talking about what paths and what transportation she and The Servant would take around Europe, but her thoughts been interrupted by three people, two males and a female, one had a mustache and sideburns, looks like he's in his mid-age, an old man's cap, business shirt with a tie and suspenders, the lady looked young, smart looking outfit and hair tied into a hair bun with some glasses as well, the other man had a late twenty's face, a full out business outfit, all black but with a white business shirt.

"Madam, it's quite unexpected to see you here." Said the one with a mustache.

"I'm more surprised to see you three here." The Madam said.

"Understandable, are you traveling?" Said the Lady

"It's quite entertaining to travel," Madam said.

"Understandable, but why take the Servant?" Said the one with no special features.

"I'm not going to just go by myself, I need help do things, I'm becoming older and older as the days past, weaker and weaker." The Madam said.

"Understandable, but you have a plan, we will be watching in plain sight." Said the Moustache Man.

"Understandable." The Madam said as the trio leaves the area, the Madam looked back into the ocean and sunset, taking a deep breath and closed her eyes.
