Gilly's eyebrows jumped up in amusement she simply couldn't contain. He actually tipped his hat to her! Ha! The last time she saw someone do that, she was five and in the diner in Ahoskie, North Carolina with her dad. It was the place she was born and she only had a few sparse memories of the town.
She smiled back but had no hat to tip, so she gave him a nod and let out a, "Howdy," that she couldn't help either. It wasn't meant to be mean or anything, she was just amused and he'd given her a greeting so she returned it. She still couldn't place why she knew his face but chalked it up to maybe just seeing him around the Manor.
