"Good evening I take it you will be the house keeper while me and my wife will be away?" The older gentleman marched down the stairs puffing on his pipe in a hurry with his wife following close behind. "Indeed so, hopefully I am dressed well to be here with the account of being in a bit of a hurry do pardon me." I shook the mans hand and kissed the wifes. "It is quite alright no need to worry, all you will need to do is water the garden between 3 and 5 pm and please refrain from answering the phones our distant relatives are nosey." The wife smiled "Of course it will be no problem and what about your dog?" I asked looking at the blood hound who sat stairing at me. "He is fed twice a day and will tell you when he needs to go, but dont let him wander keep him on his leash." The wife watched as her husband carried her suitcase to the car. Before I could say anything else or conjure up another question the castle was became abandoned by its rightful owners leaving me alone in it to watch over while the owners left on a vacation for a week. "Ah what a good dog you are." My hand scratched behind his ear. Waiting until 8 pm sharp to lay on the couch and cover up with no phones ringing.
