<em>Victoria being escorted inside</em><br/><br/>Victoria smiled when she saw Hawkins come to get her. "Ah Hawkins, a pleasure to see you again, Happy Christmas to you sir." Victoria was always so kind and courteous to each of the staff at the Ambrose Manor, she knew how hard they worked, and deserved as much dignity as she did. "I gather my room is all ready, I do apologize for arriving so late, but it was a bit treacherous back home.  I do hope the Lord and Lady are not upset with me."<br/><br/>She entered the home and took off her outer jacket, "Oh Hawkins, just a glass of water please, when you have time, I will take it in the gathering room, by the fire. Thank you. " Victoria then made her way to the gathering room to warm her bones by the fire.  She sat in a large chair and felt her body warm instantly as she sat by the beautiful roaring fire.
