 "Thank you Kylie."

I went back to my quarters.

Paddy was laughing at me.

"What is so funny?"

"You are covered in blood and feathers. I bet the chickens lost?"

I walked into my bedroom and stood in front of the mirror. He was right. I laughed.

"I need to bathe." I sighed.

"Need any help?" He smiled behind me.

"Always." My eyes flashed red.

We went down to the pool. He helped me out of my bloody clothes.

We had finally moved the boulder from the underwater passageway. Now we were able to float and swim leisurely.

"Kylie? Kylie?" I turned to Paddy.

"Yes."

"What are you thinking about? I called you a few times already."

"I am sorry. I was thinking about Katey. Her sister is coming tomorrow."

"Kelly the curious one."

"That is her."

"What is the problem?"

"Katey never told her about us?"

"That does pose a problem. It would be hard for her to show her around." He thought for a moment. "Where is she staying?"

"In one of the boarding houses."

"That is right. I remember when she asked if it was all right for her to come." He said.

"She does not know what to do?"

"I might have an idea. Let us go talk to her." We dried and dressed. We were at Katey's kitchen waiting for her to finish serving someone.

"Hello Paddy. Kylie you came back. Is everything all right?" Katey asked.

"No." I said.

"Katey which boarding house is your sister going to be staying at?"

"She will be at Margaret May's"

"Good that will do perfectly."

"I do not understand."

"I am going to talk to Margaret and have you set up there."

Katey had a huge grin. "You would do that for me Paddy. Thank you."

"Do not thank me until I have spoken to Margaret."

"Ya want to talk to me Paddy Sir?" The Lady walked in.

"Ah Margaret I do. Katey has a relation coming in tomorrow and she does not know about us."

"Is that a fact?" Paddy nodded. "Yes it is."
