Enola and I were searching in the woods.
And I looked to a fallen tree.
I started to remember the story he told me while Enola and Briggs were sleeping on the way to our seperation
"A tree branch broke above me as I was collecting wild mushrooms. It should have crushed me."
I jumped on a piece of rope to climb up to a treehouse that was obviously Tewkesbury's
"So this is where you laid your plans. Or maybe that's what you wanted them to think." I looked around "You were leading them astray. This must be why Bowler Hat was there... following your breadcrumb trail. So what was your real plan?" I saw a book and decided to open it up.
"Pride And Prejudice." I said. I picked up a flower pressing. "Oh, you tickle me, Viscount Tewkesbury, you magnificent Marquess of blooming Basilwether." I smiled. Enola jumped on "And you're a cleverer boy than I perhaps gave you credit for."
"It's not as stable as you think." a voice said. Enola and I looked at each other
"bloody hell" I huffed out
"My words exactly" Enola said
"Good morning." I said. I looked down. "Enola, It's his grandma" I whispered. she looked down
"hello" she said
"You'd already discovered this, hadn't you?" I asked. the woman nodded
"We found it a few days ago. Would you care to come down?" I flipped down and Enola used the rope "Did you see anything to report to your... "employer"?"
"Not so far, I'm terribly sorry but Sherlock will probably want to come by."
"You are most intriguing, Miss Posy." I smiled
"I'll take that as a compliment" she pointed up
"Beautiful, isn't it? It always felt an honor to me that my family was given this part of England" I nodded
"It is lovely here." I replied
"you're probably one of those new thinkers. My son was a new thinker too. Never could focus on what was, it was always about what could be. I suspect my grandson is the same. England's true glory... is what is. Do you see?" I studied her face. red. shes hiding something
"I can see much beauty." I said "and to be completely honest. I am a newer thinker." I laughed "I enjoy thinking what life could be. Racism would be over. women would have more rights. or maybe we could finally have some type of world peace" I teared up a bit. "that's the world I want to live in. everyone is happy and healthy"
"Very sensible answer. Now go. If my son or daughter-in-law finds you here, they'll have you arrested. If you see my grandson before I do, will you tell him that I care about him a great deal?" I nodded
"Of course I will." she held my hand
"Off you two go." I smiled
"thank you"
