        <strong>The Masked Ball part 1</strong>Mistress Dewitt was in her study, going over some finances when she heard the clock chime 4:00. The young woman glanced over at the tall, stately grandfather clock standing in the corner. "Oh, I've got to get ready!" She said, standing up. She'd been so busy she hadn't noticed how late it was getting. She needed to get ready for the masquerade ball tonight!<br />For the last five years, since she had become the Mistress Dewitt, she had hosted a fabulous costume party at her mansion for the other Masters and Mistresses every Hallows Eve. She grinned. This one should be great!<br />Getting up from the desk, she strode down the hallway towards the Mistress' Bedroom. Her costume was laid out on the four-poster bed: A black sequin ball gown, matching gloves and stockings, heels and the piece de resistance, a black feathered masque brought back from her last trip to Venice.<br />Mistress Dewitt was dressed in a dark blue business suit. Reaching up, she unbuttoned the jacket, pulled it off and tossed it on</q></span></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span>&nbsp; as Sally and her unlucky Mistress go to the costume party.
