| Servant
Girl loves Old Lady and loves working for her on the Estate. |
Life
on the Estate would be perfect except for two things: the unwanted attentions
of Orchard Man, and the presence of her bratty younger brother, Stable
Boy. Oh, he is an OK kid most of the time, but sometimes he can be so immature!
Sometimes Servant Girl thinks she would like to just strangle him! He loves
to embarrass her in front of her friends and she's pretty sure that he
snoops through her Private Things when she's not around.
One of his favorite
tricks is to tape "kick
me" signs on the back of Servant Girl's friend Cook. He thinks he
is sooooo funny. |
One time, the sign
was taped on so tight that it took all of Servant Girl's strength to pull
it off. |
One day, Old Lady
gave Stable Boy an egg that was cold and dark. We know it as Uranus. In
the Old Country, it was known by a different name which didn't make young
boys fall down laughing.
Like Servant Girl, he carries his egg around with
him even though it has grown big and heavy. It may slow him down but it
doesn't keep him from annoying his sister. Sometimes Servant Girl just
can't take it any more, and even though she knows she shouldn't, she takes
the World and gives him one good, right on the head. |
And that is why there
are earthquakes. |
