Leonie doesn't find anything in her former room. She walks out in a snit and begins to search for other places in the house. When she comes to Avery's old bedroom, a maid nervously stops her.
"Miss Summers, you can't go into there," the maid says, "Although Mrs. Howel has moved into Mr. Howel's bedroom, some of her important belongings remain in her old room."
"My things are just as important," snaps Leonie, "Why not help me try to find them?"
"What things did you lose, Miss Summers?" the maid asks anxiously, "I can help you find them."
The maid twists her skirt nervously. She's afraid that Leonie will accuse her of stealing the item since she's the one who used to clean her room.
"No, you can leave. I can look for them alone," Leonie replies.
The maid doesn't know what to do. On the one hand, Leonie is one of Mrs. Florence Howel's favorites, but Evan has expelled her from the house. Leonie quickly grows impatient with the maid's hesitation.
