The year is 1867 and you work as a servant in a large mansion called Audley End. In that little kitchen, a lot of gossip is started by the kitchen maids. The elder women reminisce about the old days in the dairy. And the young stable lads chat about the girls. But, despite the beautiful scenery, nothing is quite right at Audley End... Rules Remember the time period. No smoking or illegal substances. Lots of drama and romance. I control the date, time and weather.

Henry 27 But Without The Tattoo On His Right Arm Henry is a very kind young man, he always helps when it is needed, whether he likes you or not. He is also very generous, he shares anything and everything. Henry falls in love quite easilyand is a hopeless romantic at heart. He believes in chivalry and believes that women should be treated with the upmost respect and courtesy. He was born into a wealthy family, but felt like he didn't fit in, thus leading to him running from home and becoming the stable boy he is now Stable Boy

Accepted! Setting There has just been a new arrival, a Kitchen Maid called Hetty Waters. She is fresh from London and is extremely strange to all of you country folk. Also most people despise her, they cannot help but admire her skills, as she has had nine years maid's training. Some of the Stable Boys are getting distracted by her good looks and the mansion owner, Gloria, is very worried about the horses. As a result of this, the Stable Boys have been given more work, and everybody is preparing for a Dressage show that Audley End is hosting!
Mrs. B: "C'mon! Chop, chop, Lasses!" Yelling at the Kitchen Maids. Hetty: Chops up the carrots and the meat, putting them in a pan.
Sylvia; - looks out of the window at the field and horses. - ( Question! What do parlour maids doo?)
(Make beds, tidy rooms, sweep up, that kind of thing) Hetty: Carries on picking apples and sneaks one to Peter "For the chestnut horse in the corner!"
