It was a hot morning the day we arrived at Gracey Manor, Mamma
being the stubborn woman that she was, insisted that we leave early.
Nearly three days on a train, was enough to cause distress to the most
carefree of people.The skies were a deep blue and the sun burning hot,
as we walked up the cobblestone walkway to the old manor.Mamma said very
little until we approached the iron-cast doors.
Claire: Stand up straight and don't slouch Dear.We may be here to look
after the home while the owner is away, but we still want to make a good impression.
Cosette: Of course Mamma.
Claire: What a spectacular home.In my days, we only dreamed of living in such elegance.
Come along Cosette.

Mamma rang the door bell, and we waited patiently outside the old manor.A few moments
passed until a young lady opened the door slowly.She was quite young, perhaps a few years younger
than myself, but quite pretty.Judging from her mob cap and dress, I would say perhaps she's the maid?
April: Good morning, my name is April, I'm Mr Gracey's house keeper.And whom may I ask
are you?
Claire: My name is Claire Pontmercy, and this is my daughter, Cosette.
Mr.Gracey has called for us to look after his home.
April: Ah, yes.I do recall him mentioning something about young ladies
coming to the manor.He is in the library, if you'll follow me, I will escort you to him.
Claire That would be lovely.Cosette, come along dear.

I gazed out toward the orchids that surrounded the manor.It was a lovely day,
but the summer heat proved to be too much for I to bear.

William: There must be something of great interest to have caught
the attention of a lovely lady such as yourself.
Caught off guard, I turned to quickly to find a young man standing before me.
He looked to be no more than 25, his hair was neatly pressed, and his jacket was nearly
perfect.I assumed this must be Mr. Gracey's son.

Cosette: I was just admiring the lovely orchids, surrounding your home.
They are very beautiful.
William: The home has sat here for many years, if I recall, I believe it was
my great-grandfather who planted the trees, in memory of my great-grandmother.
Cosette: That is a beautiful thought.
My mamma's voice interrupted our conversation; calling me to come inside.
I excused myself, and my way inside to the grand staircase.

George: It is a great relief to have found someone to watch over the home
and William while I'm gone.I love my son, but I do not think he is ready to run the home.
Claire: It is our pleasure, you have a beautiful home.And I understand, my daughter is
quite naive, when it comes to matters such as this.

Claire: Speaking of my daughter, here she is now.
George:And I see she has met my son, William.April
will give you a list along with the keys to help you all settle in.I must prepare
for my journey.I pray you will help as much as you can William?
William: I'll do my best, father.
A/N: I know Cosette's dress clips, but I'm willing to look past
it as I really liked it.
