Edwina ! Edwina ! , I heard Mama called.
opening my groggy eyes as I stare at celling in my room . Am up Mama I called back my mother . Getting to Orkshire was a stressful journey . We arrived mid day after setting of at dawn .
Mama cracked the whip on us as we cleaned every inch of the house ,while Papa and Philip went around town to get the necessary tool to fix broke items and mend the barn .
Yes you heard me right a barn apparently Papa's family was well off in the country side . The caretaker Mr. Whimsford showed us around the house is was breath taking . We had a a farm also . Mr . Whimsford niece Erica gathered fresh vegetables for us . she is my age and quite lovely she would make an excellent friend . As welcoming gifts the neighboring house gave us meat .
We had a wholesome meal after a day of tedious work . fast forward to this morning.
Getting up from bed I walked to my window. staring outside I could see the sun was already up and birds chipping away happily . this view is something I could get use to i thought . Heading out on my daily morning activity . I rushed down stairs to join Mama in the kitchen to help prepare breakfast . To my outmost shock I found two ladies working the kitchen with breakfast been served at the dinner table . Confused I scanned the room to discover Mama motioning me over . Walking towards Mama she took my hand and sent me to the needle room where my other siblings were with Papa .
Sitting close to my elder brother we all paid attention to our parents.
turns out Papa is Baron ,which makes Mama a baronesses . Papa inherited the tittle from his uncle .
Quite a few things are going to change around here says Papa .
Lucy and I are to be tutored starting tomorrow . Lucy is my little sister along with Nathaniel my younger brother .
Philip and Nat are to be tutored as well .
We are to make a good impression since the social season is about to begin. Quite overwhelmed with the sudden change of pace in our daily life ,I sat quite with my siblings as we allowed what Papa said to sink .
They taking it quite well,I take it Mama whispered to Papa . Mmm I hope so cause am also at my wit's . The wedding between the two kingdoms is to be held next month which will open social season .
I could see Papa's face frown as he was into deep thoughts . he is concerned about something . Philip is awfully quiet as well .
The silence was disrupted with the voice of one of the ladies I saw preparing breakfast in the kitchen .
Breakfast is served !!.
It was quite unexpected as we all jumped at the new voice . staring at each other we broke into laughter as we saw each other expression .
Well I suppose we could get use to that , Mama said .
I guess so Papa said laughing . Darling I made an appointment with the Modistes in town to get you and the girls new outfits .
yaaayy!!! new clothes Lucy cheered . what do you think sister lucy asked me.
I suppose that would be quite lovely I replied as we left the needle room to head for the Dinning area .
