Orange pekoe
Marie: It wasn’t difficult to reach the lounge doors. The servants didn’t care and my stepmother was inside. I took a deep breath, pushed the door lightly and entered. I thought I did it as quietly and secretly as it was physically possible, but my arrival was noticed at once.
Task: Go through the library in «Ghosts» mode.
A card table appears with silhouettes around it. You can only make out madam, everyone else is too blurred… but then a young girl enters the room. She’s wearing a simple white dress, her long dark hair is carefully arranged, she’s got a light half-smile on her face… You feel like you’ve already seen this before. Or not?
Lynette: This is Marie, my stepdaughter.
Marie: She’s bowing gracefully, tilting her head lightly. Manners are very important for her.
Lynette: Child, did you come down to the living room to wish me good night?
Marie: No, madam. I’ve heard the clock chiming five, so I decided to bring the orange tea that uncle Robert has brought from India. Black Orange pekoe.
After saying that she offered her stepmother a small box with tea.
Lynette: Well, that is very nice of you, but I was going to make a different type of tea today. Flowery Pekoe.
Marie: Flowery Pekoe is undoubtedly a fine tea, but today is the 17th, so I thought it would be a good idea to treat guests to this tea on uncle Robert’s birthday. Besides, it’s not just Orange pekoe, it’s а Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe.
Fog: They serve Finest Tippy at the court! Only Special Finest is better than that!
Marie: I’m sure, madam, that only you can make it the right way. With cloves and a couple of pieces of orange peel.
Fog: Madam, could you be so kind as to let us taste such a wonderful drink?
Lynette: Well, they don’t serve Finest Tippy in a modest aristocrat’s house every day. Let’s not disappoint our guests.
You completed Marie’s task and received some points of freedom and some tokens
Marie: She had to agree with the guests, so sending me back upstairs was no longer possible. That was my first victory over Lynette and I was not going to stop!
