Margaret's P.O.V.
"Thomas, Its time!" I'd call my husband. "I'M COMING, I'M COMING!" I hear him yell. I see our butler, Henry Jay, walk down the stairs with my husbands suitcase's. "Margaret, is everything taken care of?" He asked me. "Of Course it is. If it isn't I wouldn't be yelling for you to hurry!" I'd respond. "Oh Molly dear. Promise me you'll stay safe while we're gone.

I'd look out the window staring into the distance. "Yeah, we most likely will" I'd sigh. Thomas, still reading through the newspaper, didn't notice. I'd fall back into the seat, falling asleep...
