Caroline busied herself packing her cases and moving them from the sumptuous luxury of the blue room to the austere former servants room which Felicia had allocated to her, the narrow stairs were awkward and she had little time to think about things until Felicia brought her a waitress uniform.
"Why do I have this awkward feeling?" Caroline asked, "is this straight forward waitressing?"
"Oh yes, very straight forward, nothing new I promise!" Felicia lied convincingly.
Caroline quickly dressed in the black dress and followed Felicia downstairs, where Sarah was busy preparing the meal, "How are we doing Sarah?" Felicia asked.
"Yes, it's all under control but it really needs four sets of hands." Sarah explained.
"Well tell Caroline what's needed, she says she's done it all before!" Felicia continued, "I'll set the tables."
"I can do that!" Caroline suggested, "I did silver service!"
"No, my table setting is somewhat specialised, avant garde even." Felicia explained. "Help Sarah here if you would please."
"Just shift these over there, would you," Sarah half asked and half ordered, and Caroline took a cloth and started to move the hot dishes as Sarah suggested.
Caroline made some space and then Felicia returned and dropped a bombshell.
"Caroline, you don't like Leila do you?" she asked, "Only we need her as we're one short for the display this evening, unless you would, would you mind?" Felicia asked.
Caroline stared at Felicia, "You said it was waitressing!" she challenged her eyes blazing.
"Well dear, I said it was nothing you hadn't done before," Felicia replied, "If you remember, and it will save a lot of running around."
"Well I wont." Caroline said with abrupt finality.
"Oh, don't be childish." Felicia insisted, "Don't pretend you're not excited by the prospect Caroline," Felicia asked, "I bet you're getting damp already!"
"No," Caroline exclaimed,
"I'll do a deal Caroline," Felicia offered "If you show me your panties, and there's no wet patch then I wont ask again but."
"Oh all right, just this once!" Caroline agreed knowing there was indeed a wet patch, indicating her growing excitement, "Display shelf, squat, no more."
"That's settled then, thank you Caroline," Felicia continued. "Can rely on you to help Sarah get the others on the display shelf," Felicia suggested, "They ought to be here soon!" she had a thought, "Check the straps will you and if you could make sure there are enough waitress outfits."
Caroline made her way to the display room, she saw it at it's most menacing with the poles gleaming silver in the gloom of the strange asymmetric cavern with the step seemingly cut from the rock as she peered intently into he gloom until she spotted the light switches and then the whole atmosphere changed. Instantly, bathed in brilliant hues of Halogen lights, it was like an art gallery, she decided as she accidentally switched on the spot lights instead of the overhead lights.
Caroline mentally applauded the architect or was it the designer of the display room with it shelf and it's five beautifully sculpted and exactly even alcoves to display five works of art and what art could be more beautiful than the human female form? And the juxtaposition of steel and stone was, she observed, inspired.
The dresses were hanging beside the light switch panel, five as Felicia suggested, black with vestigial white aprons and Caroline noticed the door at the far end of the display room, she was curious as to where it led so she went to investigate and found the heavy oak door opened on to a short corridor, which led to a heavy oak door firmly locked at each end and an unlocked oak door part way down the same side of the corridor as the display room door.
Caroline eased the door open, wondering what secrets it might hold and stared into the cavernous gloom, metal gleamed dully, and Caroline searched desperately for a light switch, suddenly she clicked the lever down and the room lit up, revealing a row of cages, suddenly the layout of the castle made more sense.
Caroline gasped, cages five rows, three tiers high, some rusty some polished, it was the cage room where she had seen the slaves displayed on her first visit and some were occupied, suddenly "Oi put that bleeding light out I'm trying to get some kip!" a thin unpleasant female voice trilled.
"Yes, it ent time yet sod off!" another voice added, but Caroline moved down the room to see where the sounds came from. Four cages on the middle tier were occupied, she saw the name tags clipped to the bars, "Frankie," and slightly top heavy completely naked brunette stared at her blinking in the harsh glare, and in the next cage, "Carla," another thinner brunette "Micky" again brunette was the next cage and another brunette "Jane," in the fourth.
"Misses Partridge said we could get our heads down for a couple of hours," Jane explained, "we did Pontnewydd this morning see, before the match."
"The whole team between us," Carla added, "Are you that Leila that was supposed to help out?" she asked .
"No, I'm Caroline," she answered.
"They were so knackered they could hardly drag they selves onto the pitch!" Frankie added, in her welsh lilt, "But boy were they hard work."
"Two at a time eh Frankie"
"Three, one in me mouth and all remember," Frankie reminded her, "Christ me bum hurts!" she laughed.
"Oh Sorry" Caroline apologised as she tried to work out how the girls got there so soon after her own spell in the same room.
"It's nice and dark in here see, and warm so we can get a good kip." Jane added.
Caroline, still curious, returned to the display room and laid one dress by each pole, she checked the belts and returned to the kitchen where she heard raised voices.
"I still don't know why I had to come!" an angry Gethin was complaining, "I should be out with the lads celebrating!"
"Frank trusts you," Felicia explained.
"Look," Gethin continued, "I know he was a rugby legend, he may have played for Glamorgan but he's taking liberties!"
"Actually Gethin we have a proposal for you." Felicia continued.
"What sort of proposal?" Gethin asked
"Well I'll let Frank ask you later when he arrives, you can wait in the smoking room, use the TV or the Internet if you like."
"It better be worth me while," Gethin muttered as he wandered away towards the Smoking room and Felicia sought Caroline out in as she helped Sarah in the Kitchen.
"Those girls in the cages?" Caroline queried.
"Yes dear," Felicia answered, "Frank brought them while you were with Sam earlier, during the match." She smiled at Caroline, "I'll set up the spotlights on your pole," she suggested, "While we have a moment."
Caroline climbed up the steps to the centre left pole and went to squat down as Felicia worked the remote control spot light,
"Oh that's hopeless," Felicia announced, "Caroline, slip the dress off, there's a clothes rail down that end look hang it up, oh, and the pants I need a good convergence on your pussy."
Caroline did as Felicia suggested, she felt she was an old hand at this now, but as she climbed the steps naked except for her high heels she felt so naughty that when Felicia instructed her to spread her pussy lips, her nipples began to tingle, as soon as her fingers touched her softness her juices flowed and her mind floated onto another plane.
