<strong> The Winterstone Estate, more introductions before dinner.</strong><br/><br/>The gentleman named as Johnny then introduced himself properly and more politely as Inspector Bakersfield, he tilted his head studying the woman in front of him slightly. There was almost a lazy amused smiled crossed his face.<em>well that was another interesting turn up</em>A glance passed between he and the Lady Charlotte. No words were spoken though.<br/><br/>“It is an absolute pleasure my dear, it has been a time since I ghillied for anyone, or …” She chuckled “Even fired a gun, goodness whist on a short trip to India I so wanted some fun with the elephant gun, but father being so stuffy said it was not ladylike.”  The young woman had an easy smile and it seemed did not entirely play the society game. The term often used was a fast lady.<br/><br/>“So tell me Major have you been well since the last event we met at? And you Countess, how are you finding the English Climate, and I am sure it would be wonderful for you to regale us with some stories of your homelands as we wait for dinner.”<br/><br/>It was at this moment the Doctor was announced by the butler, Charlotte caught his eye and beckoned him over to join them, she had found him a pleasant enough man and after all he had been there on that fateful night of horror that had started to knock down the house of cards that had been stable for so long. “Charlotte politely introduced the Countess to Doctor Harman. He of course knew the other two. In the back of his mind Mark Harman was sure he could still hear the Hurdy Gurdy.<br/><br/>It was then that Barnabas arrived he carried with him a message and apologies, ye was greeted politely, and the message was taken, of course he was offered some hospitality he was easily able to decline it. He was sure that there was a raven sitting upon the carriage he had arrived in, though it flew off rather quickly.<br/><br/>Again there were dogs howling far off in the distance, perhaps they were merely guard dogs or ones for hunting on the estate.  Still they sounded somewhat eerie.<br/>
