Scene 6

{x}

Lord Mycroft alighted from his horse, and walked to the carriage as an elderly lady popped her head out. “Here, Mrs. Hudson, gently,” Mycroft held out his hand to the frail woman who seemed stronger than her physique conveyed. She was followed by a much younger lady.

Mycroft escorted the lady down as she alighted from the carriage.

“Miss. Hooper, Mrs. Hudson, allow me to introduce you to Anderson, my manager, Sally, my housekeeper and Gregory, my man-servant.”

“Hello,” Molly smiled shyly. Her nervousness was obvious to the servants, who were more interested in her age and what she was here in Holmes Manor for.

“Sally, please show them to their rooms. We shall dine at six,” Mycroft directed his housekeeper, before walking alone into the house.
