<div style="text-align: justify;">The trip to the new house in the country side had been a little long, but getting to the actual place was delightful. The house Mr. Carmichael had rented for his wife had belonged to a family, but, according to the people renting it out to them, they had moved out of the house not too long ago. The person chose not to tell the renters that the family had actually been killed in the house, as that would ruin the prospects of renting the home out. Especially with one of the renters being a young lady taking time to rest during her pregnancy there - and with the place actually being a generally safe location -, the renters chose not to say anything.<br/><br/>For Catherine, moving into this home was a dream come true. While she usually loved London - having been born and raised there -, now everything about the life in the city was bothering her. The scents, the noise, even the visitors to the house were bothering the young lady. Being the wife of a lawyer, there were always people coming in and going out, and, prior to now, they had never bothered Catherine. And they had not shared the news yet, apart from family, as she wasn't showing yet, so people were beginning to notice her bad mood and spread rumors about marital problems.<br/><br/>All in all, moving to a quieter location seemed like a good idea.<br/><br/>Taking the train from London to the nearest town to the house and then a coach had been a bit tiring, but since their baggage had gone sooner with the few servants Catherine would need while there - a cook and a maid for general service, and her old governess to keep her company -, it had been comfortable enough. And now they were finally home.<br/><br/>"Oh, Adam, I love it", the young lady remarked with a grin. "I can see myself staying really comfortable here, and it's such a lovely house!", she carried on, enthusiasm clear in her voice.<br/><br/>"I'm glad you like it, Cathy", the man replied, leading her further inside. "It has everything you had asked for - plenty of space, a good kitchen, a library, and your piano will be here shortly, so you may keep yourself entertained in my absence". <br/><br/>Catherine turned around to face her husband. "Well, I hope I won't have that much time to keep myself entertained", she stated, offering the man her lips for a kiss. After they kissed, the woman moved around the first floor of the house, before walking towards the stairs. "Which one is mine?", she asked, since Adam had been the one going back and forth preparing the house. She knew they had a room for each, rooms for the servants and two rooms fully furnished in case his parents or hers wanted to come and visit, so it was for the best to ask. "The last one to your right", he replied, to which the woman nodded and went up the stairs, curious to see the room she would be staying for the next months.</div>
