"This is Hannah's friend, Arus. Please come and sit down for I have wonderful news for everyone." William slid his arm around Mary's waist to guide her and yet give her a hug of encouragement.<br/>"Hello Arus. I am glad to meet you. Hello Hannah, dear. You are looking nice." Mary walked with William to the sofa and sat down.<br/><br/>"Hello Mother. I do hope that you had a good trip today. How are you?" Hannah gently pulled Arus to the other sofa to sit down next to her.<br/><br/>"Why yes, I did have a good trip but at the moment I am a bit overwhelmed. Maria came with me so she will see to my needs. Now William, what news do you have?" Mary insisted on hearing as she noticed two rather good sized boxes were being brought into the living room.<br/><br/>"First things first, my dear. Let me catch Hananh and Arus up with what i just told you.<br/>Tomorrow, Arus, you will be meeting your grandmother. I spoke to her today and she is very eager to meet you at long last. You should have been with her just days after your first birthday but things did not ogo as planned.<br/>Also this bit of news is for Arus as well as Hannah and you Mary. I have been promoted by the Queen herself to be your Adviser, Arus. Which will mean a title change not only to myself but to you,Hannah and to you, Mary.<br/>I am now Lord Hydewhite and you Mary are now Lady Hydewhite and Hannah, you are a Lady in Waiting. Please open your boxes...." William sat down next to Mary.<br/><br/>"Oh Father it is beautiful! I can hardly believe that I have a real tiara!" Hannah gently placed it on her head and smiled at Arus.<br/><br/>"William! You should have but I am so glad that you did. it is magnificent and so regal...." Mary spoke as she turned it around in her hands looking at every angle of the tiara.
