The residence had clearly been searched; the door had been kicked in, but fortunately, there weren't any valuables in the house. After inspecting the damage, Charles found that he had lost some property, but it wasn't serious—in total, less than an Aegeus.
Fortunately, this place was Elysian Pastoral Avenue, and he quickly found people to repair the door for him. He also hired a few middle-aged maids to clean the rooms again, as well as two errand boys to send safe messages to Miss Annie Brittany and Silvie Martin.
In Strasbourg, he only had two social connections. Apart from "someone's past" which he had thoroughly severed, there were only these two young ladies left.
That night, both Annie and Silvie had someone send replies. Since it was too late, no one came over, but they both indicated in their letters that they would visit him early the next morning.
Charles didn't go back to his room upstairs, instead falling asleep in the small study on the ground floor.
