Hello once again, this time I'll give you a short continue to the first episode, because I haven't got time for this story, but, I shall bring a whole chapter during the next week.
Edit: I haven't got time to focus on this one, because I'm kind of having some tough time with my new job. Long days, early wakes, so I'll try to write and finish it during the upcoming week.
Chapter 1.1 : An old murder case
16th of May, 1905, House of Goldwine
Eleanor finally awoke to the brightness of faint sunlight that shone through the windows of her study chambers. She felt so dizzy and tired.
She had never had a night like this one, but fortunately enough, it wasn't done in vain. In one night, she had collected a vast amount of information
and a lot of names. And she was just about to unlock the doors and go to kitchen for a cup of fresh coffee, as a reward to her own efforts, but only a
moment later, someone knocked on the door, and to her surprise, it was her husband, Marcus. And he yelled at her:
'Eleanor, Eleanor! If you're still there, please answer to me!'
She sighed and shouted back at him: 'Yes, Marcus, I'm here. Now, would you be so kind to lower your voice. I'll open the door now.'
And as she opened it, Marcus rushed in like a beast on his trail, saying: 'I don't really understand. What can possibly be so interesting
to keep you awake until the morning? For a short time, I thought something had happened to you.'
Eleanor knew Marcus all too well, and she also knew that at times, he simply couldn't think clearly about things, but still, she cared to give
him a satisfying answer: 'Marcus, Marcus. Remember the bird I found from the garden? I also found a letter with it, so I decided to learn about
it's content and so forth. That's all to it.'
Marcus looked somewhat relieved and said: 'I'm glad to hear that everything is fine. Well, did you learn anything useful? The whole research must have
yielded something, you wouldn't have spent the whole night for it otherwise.'
She noticed that he couldn't help, but to smile, and it annoyed her a little, but still, she threw another good answer at him:
'Dear, Marcus, with all the experience and schools attended, I doubt I would end up with a blank paper, don't you agree?'
'Yes, yes, Eleanor, but tell me, did you find anything out?'
Looking sharp, she said: 'Yes, and no. I'm not sure about it. Not just yet. There are too many things that remain unclear to me, but one thing is for certain.'
'And what is that?' he asked.
She looked him deep into the eyes, and said: 'I'm most certain that this letter.. This letter was supposed to be delivered to my father.'
To be continued..
