A little while later, I was all bandaged up when Elizabeth came in with my dinner.

 “I traded this job with Else." She said as she sat down. I made a face. Else was our regular dinner server. Plus she was the meanest one. Robbie and I got in trouble almost every meal. 

“I thought you may like some company." Elizabeth said. 

“You’re right" I said as dug into my mashed potatoes. "I lied" 

"Huh?" Elizabeth asked. 

“I remember parts of what happened." I said grabbing my drink.

 "Why didn't you tell your father?" She asked as she snatched a green been. 

“Because when I put the evidence together, it leads to one person." I said. 

"Who?" Elizabeth said in a wondering voice. 

“Eli" I said, twirling my spoon in my soup. 

“Wait, Gin's Brother?" Elizabeth whispered. 

“I believe so" I said. 

"Wow" She said as she fidgeted with her dress. 

"What?" I asked. 

"Eli just asked Else out today and she said yes" Elizabeth said. 

"Ok as weird as that sounds" I said "We have to stop this from happening." 

"But how? You know Else's top Servant. I wouldn't be able to just go up to her and tell her to stop the date. She actually smiled." I thought about it for a little bit and then said 

"Remember when we got rid of Ellen?" Ellen was one of my ladies in waiting. 

Elizabeth chuckled. "How could I forget.” She said.

"Well what if we do the same thing, but not go so far?" I said. 

"Not a bad idea" Elizabeth said with a twinkle in her eye.
