A lady had to be prepared for all sorts of situations.

Her eyes twinkled as she found the pesky note cards and she removed them from her bag to count them and make sure that they were all there and in proper order when someone bumped her from behind, causing her to shriek in fright and throw the note cards up in the air.

"Oh dear oh my!" she exclaimed as they came fluttering down to the ground. "Quite alright dear, quite alright. We all make mistakes, but one must always keep both eyes forward now, something to remember."

Now...to attempt to reassemble her speech. Why did she have to mistake her appartion location so many times?
Oh this was just perfect. She hadn't been in the Ministry for more than a few seconds and she was already knocking into other people--it was like ballet lessons as a child all over again.

Inez quickly bent over and handed the remaining notecards back to the woman she had so uncerimoniously ran into. "Yes ma'am I will be sure to watch where I am going from now on. It's just I haven't been here before and the decorations here tonight are just breath-taking." she said nervously awaiting to hear how the woman reacted.

She looked pretty important and the last thing Inez needed was to be fired on her first night here before she even started working.
