Miss Hudson was humming while cleaning the front porch of the apartment building when she saw a fancy carriage far ahead. It looked like it belongs to one of the esteemed nobles and she could not help but look at it in awe.

But her awe changed to surprise when the carriage drew closer and closer.

Was it her imagination or the carriage seems to be slowing down near their street?

To her surprise, it did stop in front of her. She couldn't think of any reason for a noble to drop by the small apartment building unless...

"Don't tell me they bought this building and wanted us to leave?!" Hudson internally shrieked in panic. "Sherlock hasn't even paid me yet!! I can't let this happen!!"

Two lovely young ladies stepped off the carriage and Hudson nearly dropped her broom upon seeing the young lady with a camellia hair ornament on her hair behind the other.

"W-What a beautiful woman!" Her eyes widened in fascination and awe as the beauty of the young woman emits is so ethereally beautiful. "It's almost as if she's... she's a goddess...!"

Passerby and such also murmured and gasped upon having this rare chance of seeing such a beautiful woman up close. The raven haired noblewoman in front took off her hat and said her greetings to the landlady.

"Good afternoon, miss. I apologize for the sudden intrusion but is this the apartment where Mr. Sherlock Holmes resides?"

Hudson snapped to reality after being momentarily distracted. "Eh? A-Ah, g-good afternoon as well! Etto... yes, he is currently in his room. I-Is it all right for you to wait inside as I call him?"

"Yes, please lead the way." Cecilia smiled in gratitude as they were led inside the building.

"I'm sorry if the room is small and a little messy..." Hudson tells them nervously. Luckily she had prepared some tea earlier in case a client visits. These ladies must be one of those clients asking for Holmes' help. "Please help yourselves."

She poured tea on two cups for the two ladies.

Cecilia nodded in gratitude. "The room is not a problem, miss...um..."

"Hudson, my lady. I'm the landlady of this building."

"Thank you, Miss Hudson. Oh dear, we forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Cecilia Evans Winstein and my friend's name is Elise James Moriarty."
