I await outside the finishing school behind a bush impatiently in the hopes that Tewkesbury doesn't mess up the plan we created. it took a while to get to the school and I doubt we'll be able to get a second chance at this.

20 minutes pass I become increasingly anxious, scared that he got caught and they would send him to his death. I hold my breath as I see the young marquess wonder outside the door, I stand up and realise that Enola was not with him, he must have failed. I knew there would be a flaw, I run over to him and immediately wrap my arm around his neck as he did my waist, I pull apart ad cup his face.

"what took you so long? I thought you got caught and was going to be sent away, you worried me" I reprimanded him 

"you were worried about me?" he questioned, I gulped unsure what to answer but before I could i see Enola running out

"oh thank god" I whisper as I ran and hugged her tightly 

"we must go!" she yelled as she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards an automobile owned by miss Harrison and began to start it up.

"can you actually drive this thing?" Tewkesbury asked Enola 

"I know the basic rudiments" she replied whilst ripping off her white collar

"that's reassuring" I said sarcastically  as we began driving off 

"left right, watch out, Enola the bush!" Tewkesbury yelled as she headed straight for the bush causing me to yelp

"I'm not finished yet" she Yelled 


we were now driving along dirt tracks in the auto mobile and Enola's driving skill were absolutely awful, it genuinely scared me.

"thank you. that was, uh... you did save me" Enola stutters to us "the best bit was my idea, but you did save me" she continues

"you're welcome. I think" Tewkesbury answers

"yeah you have saved me before it was only fair to pay that back" I said softly

I didn't like it in there" she responds 

"no, no, of course not." Tewkesbury says in agreement

"I mean who would" I stated 

"now, lets get back to London and find a proper hiding place" Tewkesbury states

"agreed, one that they will never discover" I agreed 

Enola slowly pulled on the breaks as we reached two roads that we could go down one that heads towards London and the other that goes to Basilweather, Tewkesburys home.

Enola what are you doing?" I asked but she was too concentrated that she just couldn't hear me

"Enola, whatever you're planning..."Tewkesbury started but Enola was just too deep in thought 

All of sudden she turned her head around before stating "we need to go basil weather"  and began driving towards his home.

"What!" we said in unison

"an injustice has occurred. it's time to write some wrongs. you want a culprit find a motive" she answers as she hands us both a newspaper.

"I don't understand" he replies 

"when were you due to be inducted into the lords?" Enola asked 

"imminently" he answers quickly 

"how would you have voted on the bill?" I chimed in 

"th same as my father. I'd be for it" he answered 

"who knew that? and who stands to gain the estate with your father dead and if you die?" Enola questioned 

Tewkesbury pauses in shock "my uncle" he replies and he puts the pieces of the puzzle together "you think it is my uncles doing?" he continued

"doesn't it make sense?" she answered 

"but he's a powerful man what could we do?"  I asked Enola 

"solve the crime of course"

"Enola, we are all extremely Lucky to have lived this long, and you want to drive us into a place where there is most certain danger?" Tewkesbury argued

"sometime Lord Tewkesbury you have to dangle your legs in the water to attract the bloody sharks" Enola yelled 

"why weould we want to attract the bloody sharks?"  Tewkesbury and I yelled back

"good point"
