“Miss Katrina Proctor!” Willameena came down the steps toward them. She embraced Katrina whole heartedly.

“Miss, how long it has been. I am happy indeed to see you,” Katrina said.

“Miss Proctor!” Mr. Byers came with a speed to his step out of the massive front doors of the house that were propped open.

“Mr. Mason Byers,” she curtsied, as did her relations. He stopped and bowed. “Please allow me to introduce to you my sister, Miss Miranda Byers.

“I am happy to meet your acquaintance,” she said.

“I am so happy that you are here indeed,” he said.

“Thank you for having us,” Katrina said. “Please allow me to introduce you. You already know Adeline and these are my employers, Mr. and Madame Douvaine.”

“Delighted,” Miranda curtsied.

“This is our butler, Mr. Howard. Howard, these fine ladies are in the East suite. Miss Adeline Proctor in the blue room and Miss Katrina Proctor in the green room... and Mr. and Madame Douvaine in the pink rooms,” Mr. Mason Byers said.

“Right away, sir,” Howard said, and began to command the others of where to take their trunks. “If you will follow me I can...”

“No need, Howard. I will show these guests personally to their quarters,” Mr. Byers interrupted.

“Of course sir, as you wish,” Howard said moving to the side.

“Ladies,” Mr. Byers said as he turned and put an arm out gesturing the direction of the open doors.

“Oh yes it was a long journey, thank you ever so much for asking. You are too kind,” Adeline said, as they entered the grand foyer. The home was exquisite with marble floors and crystal chandeliers. Rich tapestries hung from the walls and the ceilings were ever so high.

“If you will follow me I will show you to your suite where you may rest a while and freshen up before supper,” Mr. Byers said, ascending the stairs as they followed him.

“Thank you,” Mr. Douvaine said, taking in the grandeur of the place. The tall lofty walls were hung with tapestries that looked to be at least one or two hundred years old. Armor was displayed on the walls as well as a family crest of the Brentwood Manor. It was a very impressive place and Katrina felt ever so small.

“Eleanor Dawson, look who has come,” Mr. Byers said as they got to the top of the stairs. Eleanor Dawson turned toward them and the smile fell from her face.

“Oh yes... the Proctors and Douvaines. How do you do?” she said with an air of disgust. Mr. Byers shifted in his stance as though to scowl at her.

“I remember they were coming. I must go see to my sister. Good day,” she nodded and moved past to descend the stairs.

“I must apologize for her. She is stressed
