"Oh, sing sweet nightingale, Sing sweet nightingale. High above me, oh, sing sweet nightingale. Sing sweet nightingale, high above. Oh, sing sweet nightingale, sing sweet nightingale, high. Oh, sing sweet nightingale, sing sweet nightingale. Oh, sing sweet nightingale, Sing sweet. Oh, sing sweet nightingale, sing. Oh, sing sweet nightingale. Oh, sing sweet. Oh, sing sweet nightingale. Sing sweet nightingale, high"

"Arh, don't you know any other songs?" A voice questioned from above her. "I mean the nightingale has to sleep sometime right? Sing something else or not at all and spear us" The voice belonged to none other then one of the daughters Elizabeth worked for a round faced and bodied young women.

"Good and since mothers not here at the moment it doesn't really matter what she says does it? I swear I don't know why we keep you. Always singing more then doing your chores. I bet you haven't even gotten round to mending that dress I gave you." She marched down the stairs her finger tips running along the banister. "Nothing but dust. What are we paying you for?"

"With all due respect, Miss," she said, raising her head as she got back down on her knees to finish her current chore. "You do not pay me anything, it is your mother who does and until it is you who pays me I shall do what your mother asks, and she has asked I do the floors before the stair wells"

"Once more, she's not here and I don't think it's respect I get from you at all, talking back to me like that. Be warned I shall report this to mother as soon as she returns." she walked through the manner then tracking mud all along the freshly washed floor. "You missed a few dozen spots Lizzy"
