Belle felt sorry for the snake who looked like he was in pain. The cat didn't seem to care that the poor thing was injured. Belle resolved to address that some other time. A head butler was director of the servants. That meant he needed to be concerned for their welfare as well as the work they did.

When they reached the room the cat once again started yelling about the poor job the servants had done. Belle reached down to stroke the cat, forgetting that he was technically her boss now. [color=00aeef]"Don't worry. It's quite alright. This is a large castle. It is understandable that a few things might be missed."[/color]
Going to the wardrobe she saw there were some clothes already there for her. Whoever had put these here had certainly been fast. And accurate to her size. The clothes looked like they would fit well.
[color=00aeef]"Thank you for your kindness,"[/color] she said, bowing to the cat. [color=00aeef]"My name is Belle. I would like to know your name, or what I am to call you. I don't have many skills, but I learn quickly. I will work wherever you assign me."[/color]
