Adams POV:

The next morning I awoke to beautiful sunlight and light chatter coming from downstairs. I decided that now was probably the time to get myself up and join whomever was already downstairs. I rung for Smith who was up in a shot.

Smith: Good morning my lord, did you have a restful evening?

Adam: Yes I did, how about yourself?

Smith: Very good my lord.

Adam: Has everyone been very welcoming downstairs?

Smith: Yes very nice.

I smile and continue to get ready.  Once done  I make my way down and see Lord Grandtham and his delightful daughters eating their breakfast.

Robert: Ah Adam my dear chap, please sit.

I smile and take a seat next to Robert.

Sybil: Good morning Adam did you sleep well?

Adam: Very well Lady Sybil thank you.

Mary: Do you have any plans today?

Adam: I was going to head down to town and post a few letters and maybe take a look at some of the history of the town.

Edith: Oh I could take you to some of the historical places around town if you like?

Mary: Edith, Adam is not interested in your version of history.

Adam: No, no it sounds quite enjoyable thank you Lady Edith.

I look over at Jane who is silently eating, I wonder what she is thinking about.

Adam: So, Jane do you have any plans today?

Hoping for her to speak, but I am disappointed when all she does is shake her head.

Edith: Jane darling why don't you come with Adam and I into town, you like history hmm?

She just shrugs her shoulders.

Sybil: Why don't all of us go?  We could invite granny, Isebelle and Matthew, we could all make a day of it.

Robert: Are Papa and Mama involved?

I see all the girls laugh.

Sybil: Of course!

Adam: What do you say Jane?

She nodded which was more then I could home for.

Adam: Brilliant!
