Rose 4: Rose And The Silver Ghost - Plot & Excerpts
As a servant?’ Miss Fell’s fluting voice filled the word with horror. ‘Well, yes.’ Mr Fountain looked uncomfortable, glancing at Rose as though he hoped she might rescue him. ‘In between her lessons?’ Miss Fell went on, glaring at Rose. ‘She is an apprentice, how can she possibly be a maid as well?’ ‘I’m used to working, ma’am,’ Rose murmured. ‘Be quiet, Rose.’ Gus walked along the back of the chaise longue, and wafted his tail over her mouth. Rose tried to argue and found she couldn’t – her mouth felt as though it had been stuffed with hair. She swiped at it, and glared angrily at Gus, but he only purred, his eyes smug. ‘She is ridiculously stubborn, and I have been telling her for months that she can’t be a magician’s apprentice and a housemaid.’ Rose hadn’t realised that Miss Fell thought she was an apprentice and nothing else. She had lain awake through the night, hearing the city bells tolling hour after hour, as she wondered and worried about the girl in her painting.
