Nevertheless, she brushed all these thoughts from her mind and calmly went upstairs. One of the domestic staff saw her and greeted her, addressing her as Mrs. Douglas. "Just call me Miss Fowler," Alexis corrected her with a faint smile.

“Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am," the young woman gasped. “I... it was an innocent mistake."

Noreen also intervened on her behalf. “Miss Fowler, please don't be mad at her," she begged. "These people have been working in the house for many years, so they're used to calling you by that title.”

Of course, Alexis understood this. She knew it was no fault of the maid's in any way.
