[Molly Gray]"
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"Once I'm through the doors, I often pause to take in the grandeur of the lobby. It never tarnishes. It never grows drab or dusty. It never dulls or fades. It is blessedly the same each and every day. There's the reception and concierge to the left, with its midnight-obsidian counter and smart-looking receptionists in black and white, like penguins. And there's the ample lobby itself, laid out in a horseshoe, with its fine Italian marble floors that radiate pristine white, drawing the eye up, up to the second-floor terrace. There are the ornate Art Deco features of the terrace and the grand marble staircase that brings you there, balustrades glowing and opulent, serpents twisting up to golden knobs held static in brass jaws. Guests will often stand at the rails, hands resting on a glowing post, as they survey the glorious scene below—porters marching crisscross, dragging suitcases behind them, guests lounging in sumptuous armchairs or couples tucked into emerald love seats, their secrets absorbed into the deep, plush velvet."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"In real life, the actions you take can change the results, from sad to happy, from disappointing to satisfactory, from wrong to right."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"If only it were that easy," she said. "But time, Miss Molly. Time heals all wounds, as they say." She was right. As time passes, the wound doesn't hurt as much as it did at first, and that's always a surprise—to feel a little bit better and yet to miss the past."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"Monday, floors and chores. Tuesday, deep cleaning to give meaning. Wednesday, bath and kitchen. Thursday, dust we must. Friday, wash-and-dry day. Saturday, wild card. Sunday, shop and chop."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"That's the trouble with pain. It's as contagious as a disease. It spreads from the person who first endured it to those who love them most. Truth isn't always the highest ideal; sometimes it must be sacrificed to stop the spread of pain to those you love. Even children know this intuitively."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"Today at work, I found a guest very dead in his bed. Mr. Black. The Mr. Black. Other than that, my work day was as normal as ever."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"It's funny the way memories bubble up whenever I clean. I do wonder if that's the same for everyone—for everyone who cleans, that is."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"I do sometimes feel angry. Especially when guests are careless. When they forget that their actions have an impact on others, when I'm treated like I don't matter."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"One thing I've learned in my business is that you can hide dirt for a while, but at some point, it all comes to the surface."
― Nita Prose, The Maid

"I wasn't one hundred percent sure what it was I'd seen. I've learned to doubt myself and my perceptions of the world around me. I do realize I'm different, you know, different from most. What I perceive isn't what you perceive. Plus, people don't always listen to me. I'm often afraid I won't be believed, that my thoughts will be discounted. I'm just a maid, a nobody. And what I saw in that moment, it felt like a dream, but I know now that it was real. Someone with a deep motive killed Mr. Black. And that wasn't me," I said. I looked at Rodney then, and he looked at me. There was a look on his face that was entirely new. It was as though, for the very first time, he was seeing me for who I really am."
― Nita Prose, The Maid
