Nell will not speak to you.END
You see a servant girl who looks at you in wonder. "Thou dost look familiar. Who art thou?"
yes{
"Oh. Hello. I am Nell."
}else{
"I thought so! I have seen thy portrait before. And I had heard that thou wouldst be visiting! I'm Nell."
}
"Hello, Avatar."

name{
"I told thee my name is Nell."
}[-name]
job{
"I am a chambermaid. I am responsible for keeping the castle tidy. Just a servant girl, really."
}[+servant +castle]
castle{
"It is very large. Keeps me very busy. Thou wouldst not believe how dusty it gets."
}[-castle]
servant{
"I suppose I'll always be a servant. My parents are servants. My brother is a servant. My fiance is a servant. My child will probably be a servant."
}[+child +fiancé +brother +parents -servant]
parents{
"They work in the castle as well. Boots is my mother. Bennie is my father. They have been here for years. I was born in this castle and played in the nursery."
}[-parents]
brother{
"Thou mightest run into him. He is also a servant in the castle. Charles. Other than not being as smart as I am, he is all right. For a bumbling ass, that is!" She laughs.
}[-brother]
fiance{
"That would be Carrocio, that dear man who runs the Punch and Judy Show. He writes the loveliest love poetry. We are getting married as soon as Carrocio can afford a wedding ring."
}[-fiance]
child{
Nell looks worried. "Shhh! I do not want anyone to know. 'Tis not showing yet, is it? Carrocio and I are getting married as soon as possible. He -is- the father. I think. Then again, it could be... no, probably not him. Or could it be...? Hmmm. That would be interesting! Wait! What am I saying? The father is most definitely Carrocio! Please do not tell anyone. 'Twould be embarrassing. All right?"
yes{
"I know I can trust thee, Avatar."
}else{
"But thou wouldst ruin my reputation! Please -- a servant girl needs all the self-esteem she can get without that burden!" Nell turns away from you.*

"Goodbye, Avatar."END
