Chapter 64: Human Pin

"We have a day off tomorrow," I said hopefully as Abigail took my elbow and pulled me back towards the stairs. "Couldn't we—"

"I'm afraid not. We may need you tomorrow as well," the Seamstress said firmly, planting a hand between my shoulder blades and pushing me along with Abigail. For a servant, she was very… assuming.
