Silk Parlor Boarding House OOC/Casting call

[Silk Parlor]

As my heart pounded from the soft kiss, I place my hand on his forearm as we leave the room and head to the dinner. As we descend the steps, and make our way to the dinner hall I still hold his shirt in my hand as we enter seeing Mr. Riley and Violet already here waiting on us.

“Thank you Henry please sit where you like, I shall go and soak the shirt in the kitchen than I shall return. Violet Please help me with the food.” As I turn and walk toward the kitchen.

Getting a small bucket I put some water in it then Henrys shirt. Going about the kitchen I place the food on a serving cart. I look at Violet saying: Please get the fresh bread with the butter bowl. I have the roast already on the cart as well as the vegetables.

As we walk back in to the dinning hall we place the food on the table. I bring the wine to Henry for him to open. I smile to him as I hand the cork screw for the bottle. I walk to one of the many chairs where I had put a place setting. I sit looking making sure all is well.

“Please let us eat.” I say as Violet sit down be side Mr. Riley.

Riley O'Brian

As everyone is seated I clear my throat and looking at Miss silky I say, " Thank you for inviting me to stay. Your place was a godsend after spending so much of my life cramped up in a ship. The gardens are lovely and the ocean view is spectacular. Your house is charming and I feel at home here even though I have been only here a few hours."

I turn to Mr. Hill and say "I believe we haven't been introduced, my name is Riley O'Brian. I hope to be staying here for a while maybe you would be interested in a card game or two some evening.

I turn to Violet, "I especially want to thank you for being so gracious and patient with me. as you know I am a man of few words .... though tonight in such good company, I seem to be doing quite well. "I raise my glass and turn again to the others as we bring our glasses together.

"To the four of us, may we spend many delightful hours in each others company.

Miss Silky and Mr.Hill came into the dining hall and Miss silky asks me to help her in the kitchen.
"Yes Miss Silky." I say as we walk into the kitchen.

We walk into the kithchen and Miss Silky gets a bucket puts water in it and then puts Mr. Hill's shirt in it.

She grabs the serving cart and starts putting the food on it. Sher asks me to get the bread and the butter bowl Iv'e already got the roast and the vegetables.
"Yes Miss Sikly I will get the butter and the bread."

Mr. O'Brian turns to me after thanking Miss Silky for leting him stay
and introduing himself to Mr.Hill and says I want to espicially thank you for being so graciously paitent with me.
"I say you are very welcome if there is anything ekse I can do for you just let me know."

 

[Henry]

Entering the dining hall i heard Silky speak before she went into the kitchen, taking a seat on one side of the table i could partly glimpse the outside as i leant back a little. When Silky returned she handed me the bottle of wine and a corkscrew, opening the bottle i poured us each a glass of wine and let my hands linger a little on Silky's.

I felt the other mans eyes upon me and then speaking, turning to him i said "my names Henry Hill" and not wanting to sound of place i added "I must say card games are interesting but when you have the company of a very attractive lady, there is nothing i would rather do than spend time with her.

Starting to eat i wondered how my spoken words had been taken.

Riley

" I understand completely Mr. Hill and agree entirely. Of course if we were to engage both these charming ladies into a game of chance, we would have the best of both worlds. The company of the ladies and the challenge of the game."

I look at Violet hoping that she understands my meaning.

 

[Silk Parlor]

Glancing over to Mr. O’Brian I smile pleasantly toward him. “Your quit welcome I do hope you shall enjoy your stay. This is just home to me Mr. O’Brian Thank you. You’re welcome to all parts except as I had said the chambers are off limits unless invited by the occupant. It is a pleasure having Mr. Hill and you here with Violet and myself.” I glance toward Henry thinking of the few moments in his chambers.

I watch Mr. O’Brian as he looks toward Henry speaking of some games, then I glance to Violet. As Mr. O’Brian lifted his glass to toast, I take mine with in my hand as I held it up as they all clanged at once. “Hear, Hear Mr. O’Brian.”

I glance to Violet then to Henry as he began to reply to Riley. I slightly giggle at Henry’s remark then smile. I then turn to Riley as he comments of the card game once more as his thought enters my mind. Blushing slightly I begin to nibble my food slowly not wanting to speak with my mouth full.

As I finish my dinner I stand, removing my plate, from the table. “Violet when you finish clean the table, Gentlemen, if you care for after dinner drinks please help your self’s in the parlor as Violet and I clean up here. There is some cigars in the humidifier on the coffee table in front of the sofa if you please. Now if you will pardon me I must get busy.” I turn with my plate I walk in to the kitchen.

Walking to the sink I fill it with hot soapy water, as I clean the rest of the kitchen. Violet walks in placing her plate with the others in the dish pan to be washed. “Violet you know what needs to be done; I shall finish what I am doing then join the men in the parlor. When you are done then you join us is that clear?” As I finish washing down the kitchen table, the stove, I walk and clear the dinner hall of all the dishes, and left over food I wash the long Dinner table down. I gather cart with everything on it bring it back to the kitchen to be put away as well as cleaned. I turn to Violet before I head to the parlor as I changed my mind.

“Violet, what is your thoughts on our guest my friend? I see you fancy that Mr. O’Brian I seen the way you watch him.” I giggle slightly as her face turns crimson as well as mine thinking of Mr. Hill. “I do believe we shall have great evenings for a time being. What do you think?” I look her in the eye as she answers me as she finishes her duties.

I walk to her placing my hand on her elbow “Come let’s not keep them waiting.” I say I we walk out of the kitchen to the parlor door where the men are.

Looking at Mr. O'Brian letting him kniw iwth my eyes that I understand the meaning of what card game he wants to play.

Miss Silky asks me to finish clearing the table.
"I say yes maam."

Miss Silky say's to me you know what has to be done.
"Yes Miss Silky."

She tells me when I'm done to join them in the parlor doyou understand.
"I say yes Miss Silky."
I wionder why she asks me do you understand.

Miss Silky aska me what I think of Mr. O'Brian?
"I think it will be very nice to have him here."

She asks me if I think we will have fun with the men refering to the card game,I say
"I think it will be the best of both worlds like Mr. O'Brian said."

Riley

Retiring to the Parlor with Henry i look around as see a deck of cards and picking them up begin to shuffle them. antipating an enjoyable evening ahead after seeing the understanding in her blue eyes and the willingness to play in her voice.

" Life is like a game of chance I said often its justthe luck of the draw Much like arrivinghere it appears it has been a very fortunate occurance for me one I had no inclination or plan of happening. Henery agrees and puors us drinks sitting opposite me at a small table with four chairs The ladies come in and take the chairs betwen us across from each other I lay the cards face down on the table and looking up say

"if this is going to be a game of chance and we want to make it interesting and worthwhile playing we must each of us have something to wager.

 

[Henry]

Waiting a little while i stood and walked across to the door, Please excuse me ladies and gentleman i think a walk along the beach will do me good right about now.

I left the parlor and opening the front door stepped out into the street walked away heading to the beach.
