Kat stared at the untidy heap of clothes, which was piled on her bed, and over-spilling onto the floor of her bedroom. Although she was moving out, she would have to be brutal with some of her things.

"Hello, anyone in?" Lady Penelope called from the front door.

"Up here in my bedroom," Kat called back.

Lady Penelope joined Kat in the untidy bedroom.

Kat groaned. "I want to take so much, but I am not sure how much room I shall have, nor how the rooms will be furnished. Do you suppose we shall have to provide our own furniture?"

"You will each be given your own apartment, consisting of a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining area, and sitting room."

Kat looked suspiciously at Lady Penelope.

Lady Penelope looked slightly flustered. "Well, when we discussed him wanting a mechanic, he told me of his plans for the accommodation. The bedroom furniture provided will be a dresser, full size bed, night stand, and the sitting room will have a sofa, dining table and four chairs, end table with lamps and an electronics centre. There will be kitchen accoutrements. The décor will be very neutral, so you can add you own colour scheme."

Kat gasped, so much to furnish! She looked at Lady Penelope. "Gosh, I shall have to do some serious shopping. I have a couple of sheets and some pillow cases and pillows, but most of my furnishings belong to you."

Gosh! she thought, This is going to take forever!

Eventually after some hard decisions, Kat had three suitcases packed with clothes, both for work, leisure and for special occasions that Lady Penelope had hinted there might be.

Lady Penelope looked at Kat. She felt guilty that she could not enlighten her more about what was in store for her. I only hope Jeff tells her as soon as she is on the island, she thought.

"Kat," Lady Penelope said, "I have plenty of bed linen and furnishings. I think we can furnish your apartment from here at Foxleyheath."

Lady Penelope and Kat set about looking at bed linen first. Kat chose some sheets and matching pillowcases in a soft lilac and pink print design. "There are some curtains that will
pick up these colours," Lady Penelope said, adding them to the pile.

"Just in case it may get cool some nights, I have a lightweight duvet with a cover to compliment the sheets. There are some pretty deep pink lampshades in one of the guest rooms. Run and fetch them, Kat, they will match in very nicely."

Lady Penelope also produced some cream coloured sheets and pillowcases with lilac and pink candy stripes. "You can never have too much linen," she said.

"I can't accept all this!" Kat gasped.

As if she had not heard, Lady Penelope added, "Now for the sitting room."

Kat chose some cream curtains. Lady Penelope found two cream and blue rugs and some cream, blue and light brown scatter cushions. Lady Penelope also found some cream tablecloths and placemats to match. Kat added to the pile of things mounting up on the floor, some pictures of scenes around her home, her favourite horse and her beloved car. She also produced a Chinese picture of a red dragon, drawn on rice paper, some favourite ornaments, and all her favourite books.

"There, I think that is almost about everything. If you find you want some more, then please, just contact me," Lady Penelope said.

"Lady Penelope, you are too kind."

"Think nothing of it, my dear."

"Now, we must get Parker to help with the packing of all this."

Kat went to her room to sort out her personal things, and saw her guitar. Mm, I may need this, she thought and added it to the rest of the things to be packed. On the other hand, I shall take this with me on the plane. I don't want it damaged.

Thinking of the plane, she wondered who would be sent to fetch her. She secretly hoped it would be John. She rather liked the tall, blond haired young man.

Kat had a last look round. Well, if anything has been missed I shall have to contact Lady Penelope and get it sent on.
