Calhoun then turned to look at Madeline, "Was it men or women?" 

Madeline could feel her pulse rising, seeing how Theodore looked at her wondering what was going on but didn't interfere in the short conversation, "Maids." Theodore didn't have to hear the word from Calhoun as he quickly bowed and took his leave from them.

The maids didn't know why they were being summoned and waited for the King to speak.
