LeAnna had come in just after two o’clock and cleaned the room as I sat quietly on the small balcony overlooking the orange groves. She collected our filthy clothes and placed sorely needed fresh linens on the bed. I was starving, and my raging appetite caused my stomach to roll and roar, forcing me from my hiding place. I stood in the upstairs hallway, wearing a plain brown skirt, a thick black belt, my hat, and a white blouse I’d found in the back of the wardrobe. My clothes had been taken to be laundered and since my mates were gone and I’d no intention of seeing the girls, I planned to stay hidden from view dressed this way, until my own clothes were back in my room. I found these items tucked behind the rows of colorful gowns and flouncy garments Valentina kept on hand. I’d also come across several pairs of breeches and shirts that were clearly placed there for Rasmus. Although he used this room when he was in Nassau, it was obvious it was used for the young women as well.
