A maid opened -- a pretty, cheerful, Filippina maid, Corazon. She worked for the Manor since a certain incident with Manuel Temminck the elder; but since that man had died, Corazon more often than not worked for the Temmincks. Helping with the baby was the best thing ever!
Little Morgan was toddling after her, literally hanging on to her apron-strings.
"You are Miss Andy, come for Mrs. Temmick?" she asked. "Come in!"
"Thanks," Andy said as she stepped inside and smiled down at the baby. "Well, isn't she a big girl!" She smiled at the maid and said, "shall I go on through?"
