==== Chapter 46: The Maids ==== | ==== Chapter 46: The Maids ==== | ||
An [[Jenny Everywhere#As a Maid|incarnation]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]] is interviewed by a [[Maid (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|senior]] [[Maid]], having applied to become one herself. The old Maid warns that her reputation precedes her, albeit in other incarnations than the present one, but grants that her “unique nature” may be an asset to [[the House]] as much as a burden. Jenny prompts her to simply ask the House Herself “what ''She'' thinks”, with the Maid replying that that will come “in due course”. First, however, the older Maid once again goes over the duties of a Maid and what joining [[Household Staff]] ''means'', including the fact that she can never leave the House again. Jenny reassures her that she has thought long and hard about the pros and cons, and is confident in her decision. Satisfied, the older Maid formally declares: “if you survive [[the Test]], you shall become a Maid. You will watch the House while [[Master of the House|the Master]] is away”. | An [[Jenny Everywhere#As a Maid|incarnation]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]] is interviewed by a [[Maid (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|senior]] [[Maid]], having applied to become one herself.

==== Chapter 47: The Fabulous Salon ==== | |||
[[The Fabulous Salon]] is described. “Wonderful” hands growing out of the doorway instantly “rinse, lather, dry, and perfume” all comers, even before they are greeted by [[the Triplets]] who run the salon. There were originally only three Triplets, but each of them was duplicated many times over after a “freak accident” in [[the Lab]], and all the clones work together in the Salon (“[[Bridget (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Bridget]]s specialize in hair, [[Xafira (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Xafira]]s are nail experts, and [[Valerie (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Valerie]]s are miracle workers with cosmetic surgery”). The room itself is “moody”, changing appearance in time with goings-on in the rest of [[the House]] (it “was once known to change into a black room with hundreds of roses when a troll somehow got stuck in [[the Elevator]]”), but it is generally long, with “thousands” of swivel chairs. Among more mundane items like hair dryers and brushes, it is also furnished with “pink [[gnome]]s” and “devices of mass destruction”, with it being rumoured that a few [[Dragon]]s lurk in the hair dye closet. The gossip magazines made available to patrons are “the latest gossip magazines of the House”, and services are paid in the form of hundreds of cupcakes, although discounts are available for parties and other such emergencies. | |||
