wiping hands)

- Good evening, Your Grace.

- How was the ball? Was the Duke there?

- Yes, of course. We'll undo your hair
before you go to bed.

- Maybe I could take off your jewelry first
so you might feel a bit lighter.

- Alright, so I will start with the 
earrings, hold still please.

- On the other side.

- And now your brooch.

- And your necklace.

- There. Let's put these away.

- It's pretty messy inside. Shall I
tidy this up for you, Your Grace?

- There.

- Now let's take care of your hair. And I
will start by gently removing all these 
beautiful ornaments.

- So please, hold still again.

- So, may I ask, Your Grace; who else
did you see at the ball?

- Oh, your niece. Lovely!

- Yes, I have seen her once at the 
summer fair.

- Truly a beauty for a young woman.

- And did you know, I mean, this is
something that I've heard.

- She's going to marry the Earl's son. 
Of course, he's a handsome man.

- But I wonder, would that be enough?

- There. Now, let's remove the pins.

- There, and on this side...

- And, yes... One here...

- On this side, yes.

- And... just here.

- Alright, now, at the back.

- There is one here.

- Right.

- That left your hair a bit tangled. Maybe
I could fix that before we use the brush.

- Just let me know if it hurts, alright?

- This is much better.

- Let me grab the brush.

- Your hair... it's so beautiful. I wish I had the same.

- There. You must feel much more comfortable now.

- I beg your pardon, but, your scalp looks a bit dry.
It's not so bad but maybe I could have a closer look.

- I managed to get a very good oil from the apothecary.
I could use it if you don't mind.

- You will feel the difference, I promise.

- Yes, it's a bit dry.

- Especially on the top of the head.

- Alright, a few drops should be enough.

- There it is!

- Now let's brush your hair again.

- It looks perfect.

- Would you like to wear
some perfume for the night?

Your lover brought a few new fragrances
as a gift,

and I must say, the scents are exquisite.

- Shall we have a look at these?

- So, the first one is a delicate blend of
rose and lavender with a slight touch of jasmine.

Very feminine and comforting.

- The second one is a bit spicy,
with some cinnamon and bergamot.

A bit wild and exotic, but it will
make you travel in your dreams.

- And oh, this one is so soothing.

With orange blossom, sandalwood,
and lily of the valley.

- It is sensual and yet very relaxing.

- So which one, Your Grace?
Third one? Good.

- So, let me apply it,
on your wrists first.

- Other one.

- Your neck.

- And the other side.

- And finally, a few drops
behind your ears.

- And this side..

- and the other one...

- You are now ready for bed.

- Shall I snuff out the candles before I leave?

- Alright. Good night, Your Grace.
