The Carrington's were well known to all around the country. Lord Carrington, was a respectable man with much money and honour to his name. His wife, Lady Carrington, despite having passed three years ago, was still recalled as the brightest girl of them all, with her only daughter easily following her footsteps. She was a true gem, as is her daughter. The oldest of the Carrington Children, Sebastian, was on the verge on turning twenty-five, only five years older than his younger sister. He was from head to toe, from personality to looks, his father. Discipline was his utmost quality and admittedly he was much stricter than his father, especially when it came to his sister's well being. However when the future of his sister's hand did not rest in his hands, as he believed it did (which it did not - according to Adeline), he was a joyous person to be around. He and his sister were close despite their usual quarrelling and arguments that spiked up between the pair.

It was clear their family had been close. Until the day their mother died. Not long after the funeral just those three years ago, Sebastian packed his bags and left with his wife of four years, Louise. Louise, once with the last name Harmond, did not love Sebastian Carrington. Nor did he love her. Their relationship was purely on alliances between families and keeping the status of their names fresh on everyone's tongues.

Adeline had been in despair when her oldest brother left for America. Their only form of communication was through letters for years as he barley had time to visit. Lord Carrington, while trying to be there for his two youngest, fell into a schedule of work and sleep, locking himself in the impressive Carrington study, secluded from his family.

Now, the Carrington's had lots of help around their large beautiful home and so there was easily someone who could have raised Scott Carrington, a boy barley near the age of eight, but Adeline, a girl of twenty herself, decided that she would take on the responsibility when her mother died. Her brother had only been five and so he hadn't remembered much of their Mama, and it therefore led to questions being asked. But Adeline was always thrilled to answer his questions and soon shortly followed with stories of their mother that she could recall. Sometimes she thought herself as blessed to have a photographic memory - something her mother too had acquired.

Scott Carrington was growing up to be exactly like his mother and sister. He loved to read and write, just like the two women of the family. Unlike Sebastian who loved fencing and flaunting around rich people filled parties with his wife hooked on his arm.

Adeline was a free spirited girl, with the high hopes of attending a very well off University in a year to come, one such as Cambridge. But deep down she knew it was very unlikely because as her brother liked to remind her, her job was to settle down with a husband and birth children. It was not only a bore to listen to his rants about how important marriage was, but also the future written out for her was as dull as the sky when grey. Of course one day she would love to have a few children and a husband who she loved. But she was only twenty and her dreams were to become an engineer. But a girl could only dream and hope.
