It had been only a week since he had seen the lovely Lady Rowena and by the looks of the conversation between his father and himself he was most likely to see her again very soon. On the morn of the funeral, his father, Sir Terrance Harrington, stood as Tyler listened to what he had to say. An invitation had arrived a few days ago at his father’s residence and like before with the Mummy unveiling at Lord William Wintersone’s residence, Terrance wanted his son Tyler to go instead of him.<br/><br/>This time the location had changed as had the inviter, for obvious reasons, but this time the reason’s for going sounded much more exciting to Tyler. So unlike before he showed no reluctance to accept his father’s request. Unknown to Tyler and indeed his father, the invite was most likely for the Major but as it had arrived at Terrance’s manor and the invite showed no sign of who it was addressing, Terrance had assumed it was for him. Either way it was now in the hands of his son who was still looking it over. After his father excused himself, Tyler spent the next few minutes looking out the window as he watched his father leave for the church, Tyler would catch him up in a little while.<br/><br/>With just a few days remaining until the 1st June 1888, Tyler had much to prepare as he summoned his maid to assist him in his planning. “Alice” he said softly “It appears that I must take a little trip to Sussex in a few days and require that you pack the usual things for the journey once i have returned from my wife’s funeral.” He observed her as she smiled and turned to being the preparations. Before she reached the door to exit the room, he spoke again as he had one more thing to do today before he could start to look forward to the shooting weekend. He coughed to clear his throat. “Before you go I would like you to accompany me today. As you know I need to bury my wife, Claudia. I may not have discussed this with you before, but you may have notice that she has not been around for the past few months. Please dress accordingly as I will be leaving for the church in an hour.”<br/><br/>During the short journey to the church, he spoke further on the subject “As you know she disappeared some months back and was found in White Chapel recently. I have to admit that there is something a foot in London and I have to say that it will only get worse, before it gets better.” Of course in this case, he knew who killed her but with the murders going on at the moment it was easy to blame another and with her body turning up in White Chapel the blame was of course put elsewhere.<br/><br/>After the service, in which Tyler shed a tear, to good effect, they both returned to the estate after Alice comforted him for a little while in the carriage. She then went to organising his little trip with his man, Cooper. The next few days went slowly as Tyler paced the grounds, for the most part, until the morn of Friday 1st June. It would take him some time to arrive at the estate in Sussex so he set of early once he had trimmed his recently grown beard.<br/><br/>(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/Tyler/071009091154Dorian_Gray_5.jpg)<br/><br/>So there he was, Major Tyler Harrington, in his private coach of four horses travelling to alone the cobbled streets as fast as the horses could take him. His man, Cooper held the reins so he felt perfectly at ease as he watched the streets go by. In time the horses did slow until they eventually stopped. This could mean only one thing, he had arrived.<br/><br/>He took a deep breath as his door was promptly opened by Cooper who then accompanied him to the main entrance. Upon arrive, he introduced himself and his driver to the doorman as well as enquiring as to where Cooper could retire for some refreshments. Once Cooper has been directed to the servant’s quarters, Tyler was granted access to the house, where he removed his navy blue jacket to revail his fitted dark suit with blue cravat over a white shirt. He did not have to wait long to be shown to the other guests if indeed anyone else had arrived as yet. More words were exchanged between the Major and the doorman until he was finally directed into the room where the rest of the guests would be gathering. Upon entering he received a glass of wine from one of the younger female servants as he scouted the room for a comfortable chair in which to rest.<br/>
