âCan I help you?â I heard Flora ask as she opened the door.
Only two days had passed since our session with Joshua. Aiden and I seemed to be closer than ever, yet there was an edge to us now. A promise of change that was morphing in all directions. Neither of us knew where this was going.
I had just finished my daily library cleaning and cataloging, now almost halfway done, when I heard the conversation at the door.
âWe want to speak with Mr. Walsh.â
I stepped up, looking at them. âIâm Mrs. Walsh. May I help you?â They were gruff men in workingmenâs clothes. Seemed very determined.
âWe need to speak with the Master of the house,â one insisted.
âPlease come in,â I said, exchanging a look with Flora while pointing them to the living room on the first floor. I asked Flora to go upstairs to get my husband.
It was clear neither of us knew what they wanted. Maybe labor relations? Wanting a raise from the new owner? Something told me that wasnât it. I had been around the grounds for the last two weeks. I saw none of these men. No, that wasnât it.
More unsettling was the stern look on their faces. Hard looks. They came prepared for tough conversations. And clearly werenât afraid to offer hard responses. They declined my offer of tea or more substantial drinks. No, these men did not come to socialize.
Aiden walked down the steps, offering a hand in greeting. All the men stood as he entered the room. None of them took the offered hand. Aiden looked at me. âOkayâ¦â inviting them to take a seat. They did.
âWhat have you done with them?â One man said.
âAnd by âthemâ you meanâ¦â Aiden looked at me. Genuine puzzlement. No clue that look told me.
âThe stones. What have you done with the stones?â Another said.
âStones? Iâm sorry gentlemen,â Aiden said. âI need you to be more specific. We have done little construction on the property since we arrived. Has a consignment of stones gone missing?â
âDonât be cute with us, Yank. Just because you come here from America doesnât mean you can dismiss us out of hand.â I could see Aidenâs back stiffen at that one. Even after being in America for 20 years, he still spoke with a clear accent. He was not a âyankâ and they knew it. That term was thrown as an insult.
I stepped up, trying to quell the growing tension. âIâm sorry, gentleman, but my husband is right. You are talking in such vague terms, we do not know what you are asking.â
One man stood up, a much older man. Had to be in his late 60s at the earliest. âMy name is Alec McIntosh. My daughter, Blair McIntosh, was the companion of Lachlan some years back, then suddenly disappeared.â
âDisappeared?â I said. There was no mistaking I didnât know to what he was referring.
âHers was not the first disappearance from Walsh House. I tried to warn her when she started going out there, but she wouldnât listen.
