Anastasia had some more chats with Lady Edith and Hamilton as they gave a tour of their mansion to her. She also had to see more of the discussion between the mother and son.
And when it was finally dusk, Anastasia asked Edith, “Aunt Edith, I think it is time for me to head to the castle. Caspian will start to worry if it gets too late.”
Lady Edith also agreed to her request. Though there were laws in place, nighttime wasn’t safe for the humans to be out and about. “I wish you would have stayed for some more time. But you are right. Caspian will get worried.”
Anastasia looked around and then asked, “Where’s my handmaid though?”
“She’s probably making some new friends. I asked the humans here to keep her company.” Edith smiled and gestured to one of the maids who was nearby to go and fetch Tilla.
Edith looked back at Anastasia and then asked her, “Shall we head towards the carriage? Your handmaid can join us there.”
