Maid:
This is known as the baize door. It separates the house in two. On this side we servants work. On the other side the O'Reillys live.

Houseboy: The door keeps the smell and noise of the kitchen away from the life of the O'Reillys.

Maid: And the O'Reilly's dog away from the rest of the house. Look behind the door, near the floor. You can see, she'll scratch forever to get in.

Houseboy: Continue along to the open door on the left.
