<br/><strong>Rowena and the Major Tyler on Brighton Pier</strong><br/><br/>Rowena maintained a pleasant smile while the Major spoke upon the birds glancing at the different kinds that he pointed out to her, she pushed aside the questions that sprang forth in her mind and enjoyed the company and conversation.<em>“It was Major, I had to leave rather early to avoid alerting my aunt to my plans but it was a pleasant journey despite the risks.”</em>Rowena glanced up at the hotel noting that it was not so far from where she was staying herself<em>“I should not stay too long Major, auntie will no doubt attempt to dispatch Scotland Yard's finest in search of me if she suspects I have runaway.”  </em><br/><br/>Rowena glanced about taking in the surroundings and gathering her thoughts upon what she had wished to speak with the Major about,  she turned to him and took on a more serious tone and look the smile fading from her face.<em> “Well Major...I wished to confide in you.”</em>She glanced down for a brief moment peering at his and her own hand before looking back to him.<em> “You see Major I knew something horrible would happen that night, from the moment I entered the house I could feel it I knew not exactly what would occur but I gave no warnings. I waited and watched part of me wanting to know what it was that was to occur if indeed it occurred at all, do you think it wrong that I would question such things that id keep it to myself ?” </em>She sighed a little before continuing<em>“I don't know if you know of my talents as a medium and spiritualist Major, many would mark me mad I am sure but I have a strong grasp of reason and it is not without reason that I ply my trade as mere trickery and illusion. That is what a lot of it is you see but there are those with the talent there are things which reason fails to comprehend and explain, and since that night I have found myself questioning these things all the more Major.”</em>She gently grasped at his hand<em>“Has anything peculiar happened to you since that night Major?”</em>
