Now, Camille is very happy because the two people who "own" all of the servant/maids, are very nice people! Their names are, Madam Collette Rousseau and Monsieur Henry Rousseau. One day Camille overhears the mean maid, Bernadette, talking to Madam Collette about her cousins losing everything in a flood, Madam Collette does not refuse Bernadette letting them stay there, after all, it'll give them a new grounds keeper too! At first Camille is a little upset, since when her father died, Madam Collette let them stay in the Grounds Keeper Cottage. Camille remembers that every morning instead of going to the servants' breakfast, her mom would make breakfast at the cottage. Once Madam Collette tells everybody about Bernadette's cousins staying at the Rosseau Manor, Camille is not upset anymore because the Rousseau's are letting Camille stay in one of the wings where the Rosseau's live, but Camille soon Finds out that they are not their cousins. Even later on, one of the Rousseau's cousin's parents die, so Claire (the cousin) has to stay with the Rosseau's. Camille gets permission to make Claire's room, but later on Camille gets in trouble. And that's Where the mystery starts.
