When we finally managed to stand still, I was very surprised to be told to sit at the big table next to Rose. It was a very nice, highly polished table and both Rose and I were extremely carefully not to touch it in any way. Sitting next to Ms. Janice was a small thin man with very long narrow fingers and a neatly trimmed beard. He spoke softly and precisely, "Yes...we have to forms to work on. I see the effect the diet is having on both of them. The elder sister looks very well if a little, tiny bit heavy but the younger sister is too my mind too thin. If not actually scrawny."

I hung my head as the man continued. "I'm also a little concerned that Rose is just a little too tall as well. Not overly tall but still." I noticed Ms. Janice writing on a pad. She was concentrating hard so I gave Rose's hand a squeeze under the table. The small man continued, "Yes, Janice, the Master will be pleased and you are doing a fine job. I must remind you though, the younger sister had better be off cocaine...for her own sake." He paused and then spoke very quietly, "If not the Master will be displeased and there will be consequences for her." I shivered and went white. I mean surely they knew the drugs thing was made up.

With that we all stood as he left and Ms. Janice looked up. "Relax you two. Go to your rooms and wait until you're called for."
