Thud, thud, thud!
Thud, thud, thud!
Marvin and his two companions stood in front of Sean Rickman's villa, knocking on the front door.
Before long, the sound of footsteps came from behind the door, and a maid with a pretty face, wearing no hat, appeared at the door. She wore small leather shoes and white stockings, and it was indeed Maid Beth who had brought Marvin the invitation and the check last time.
"Good day, Father Marvin, Friar Levin, and Miss Nia," Beth curtsied in greeting.
"Miss Beth, we're here to see Sir Sean. Is he at home?"
"I'll have to go and inquire to be sure if he's at home or not. Please wait a moment."
Beth closed the door and scurried away. Levin couldn't help but comment, "Isn't she a bit too straightforward? It's pretty obvious that Sir Sean is at home, right?"
