chamber maid
I am the queen's head chamber maid.  I admit it is not the most glamorous job but it does afford me everything in life that I need.  I even have the pleasure of knowing the queen.  She even knows my name believe it or not.
Oh dear, I seem go have gotten lost! I know these passages well. May I be of assistance? I was just in the  Where? I was in the Queen's chamber and I emptied the chamber pot and was on the way to the privy.  I started thinking about my poor sick mother and next thing I knew, here I am. Oh no! You must have gotten quite turned around to end up here.  Yes, I am afraid I am.  Where am I an what are you doing here? You've managed to make it all the way over to the church. The little we say about why I'm here, the better. Of course, Of course.  Where is the Castle from here and where do these stairs lead? These stairs lead down to a tunnel between the castle and the church, so that the royal family can escape to sanctuary in times of crisis. It's rarely used now. Can you lead me to the Castle? I am too frightened to go alone.  You are not very big but you look agile and light on your feet.  Perhaps you will be useful in an emergency. I guess I could help you. Do you think we'll run into trouble?
