The following morning Matthew awoke to the sound of a busy household preparing for the day ahead and the delicious smell of bacon. He dressed hurriedly and made his way down to the dining room, where Carlyle appeared to have completed his breakfast and was urging Adelaide to get a move on. He nodded as Matthew appeared at the side table with its heated dishes containing cooked breakfast delights. ‘No need to hurry on your part, young man. Collins will come back after delivering us to the hospital, with instructions to take you wherever it is that you need to go. Come along now, Adelaide.’
With a brief sideways look at Matthew that was almost an appeal for sympathy regarding her employer’s insistence that she leave her breakfast half consumed, Adelaide rose from her seat and dabbed her mouth with a large white handkerchief that she extracted from the sleeve of her blouse. In her haste to replace it, she failed to secure it sufficiently under the cuff buttons and it fell to the carpet.
Matthew gallantly stooped to pick it up and was in the process of handing it back to her when he noticed an orange emblem of some sort embroidered on one corner. It resembled a somewhat squashed rectangle and in an effort to generate a brief conversation he looked at it, then commented as he handed it back to her, ‘An interesting looking decorative motif.’
‘It was my mother’s,’ Adelaide replied. ‘It was her favourite, since it bears a symbol of the country of her birth, which was of course Ulster. It’s a harp.’
