<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Sir Angus</span> had stepped back outside and filled the time talking to <span style="text-decoration: underline">Andrew</span> about improvements he planned on making at the property, as well as plans for the season. He was thrilled with the idea of the masquerade. He always enjoyed creating different forms of entertainment for his guests. He wasn't that young anymore, but young enough to enjoy them, after all. And if people made him the courtesy of coming to his house instead of other places, the very least he felt he had to do was to offer something special.<br/><br/>His train of thoughts shifted when another car showed up. Sir Angus showed a bright smile, his eyes lighting up, when he saw his uncle. While he wasn't as thrilled in seeing the man's wife, he would have died before receiving a guest in a way that made them feel unwelcome.<br/><br/>"Uncle!", he exclaimed happily, embracing the man tightly. "You do remember Andrew, right?", he asked, turning to Helena and smiling to her as well. "It is a pleasure to have you, Mrs. Vanderbilt. I hope you have had a safe trip?", he greeted, nothing but polite formality in his intonation.<br/><br/>"Doctor and Mrs. Chisholm are already here, they have only just arrived", he started. Before he could complete with an invitation to get in, another car had just arrived. It seemed like the party was complete now.<br/><br/>Seeing Nicolet and Anthony, Angus showed another one of those bright smiles. "Lovely Miss Darkwood", he greeted with his usual enthusiasm when it came to beautiful ladies. "Adorable as usual", he completed sincerely and indicated his friend. "I believe you have met Andrew?", the man completed after Nicolet had a chance to greet the Vanderbilts.<br/><br/>After this comment, the host walked up to Anthony. He knew the boy constantly felt out of place, and usually went out of his way to make him feel comfortable.<br/><br/>A hearty handshake was his first contact. "It is an immense pleasure to have you here, Anthony. I hope you have your rifle ready, as we have some really good game for the season, and you seem to be one of the few young men who still appreciate a good hunt". The man knew that the hunts were a bright moment for Anthony, during which he could feel at ease.<br/><br/>"It is great that you all have arrived. The Doctor and Mrs. are already in, having breakfast. Please, do come in, and we will join them", the man invited, this time for all present.</div>
