You walk through the swinging door into the elegant dining room. A beautiful crystal chandelier hangs over the long oak table. Double-bay windows are partially hidden behind dark green satin curtains. A bottle of wine stands on a silver tray with a large green porcelain cat next to it.

You didn't notice it was pushed open. A slim, young woman enters. She wears a black dress and has a small white cap on her head. She must be the maid.
