Call for a Plan

[rabidsamfan]

In the end we decided that Alfie should go, and his grandmother too, on the grounds that the old lady would do better for a time away from the reek and smoke of London air – an excuse all the better for being true.

Alfie objected, of course, preferring to be in the thick of things, but I reconciled him to our plans by extracting a solemn promise to guard Mary as best he could, and to warn her of any dangers. That, and teaching him the secret of the dancing men for our correspondence.

Now we had only to wait.

Now we had only to wait.

*bites nails* Waiting is always the hardest part...

As in waiting for the next installment of this tale!!!!!

Sending Alfie and his grandmother along with Mary seems a good idea. Entertainment value, if nothing else.

And now to wait...

And waiting is always so easy, isn't it?

Awww...

I love the thought of little Alfie seeing himself as Mary's "protector".
That's adorable.
