"How about, Lady Watson?" ask Mr. Avindale again.

"Well, I'm coming" I replied at last.

"Excellent. One additional point for your study report, Miss," he said meaningfully.

"Thank you, Mr. Avindale," I replied with pleasure. Yes, a report to Uncle John about my learning progress. If Mr. Avindale gave a positive assessment, of course it will be very helpful.

I don't pay much attention to Mr. Avindale who questioned the other three girls. It seemed like they already had their own event with the family, so could not participate.

My attention was slightly distracted, when I found the figure of Sir Lucas observing from the second floor. He was clearly looking at me. His tall towering posture was clearly visible from here. Both of his hands were holding a trellis on the balcony. After getting my attention, his hands crossed. I can't make sense of it, but I know he's up to something.

Moreover, the affairs of the territory violations were not yet completed. I hope, at the end of this visit, he will forget everything. Hope so.

"Alright, Ladies. Let's now head to Sir Lucas' private gallery on the second floor." Mr. Avindale. Then looked up. "Well, there it is. Sir Lucas is waiting for us. Come, follow me," said my art teacher as he walked first.

"Well, he's very handsome" said Samantha.

"Calm down, Adel, slow down. We're not in a race, "tatiana protested so it's just the two of us behind Mr. Avindale. The other girls were left behind because their steps were too slow. While my art teacher is indeed not a person who likes to relax. He was in a hurry when he walked. Even tripped frequently.

"I just want everything to be done soon My Dear. I want to spend the holidays lazing around in your place" I replied honestly.

"Well, you're too excited Miss .. for unimportant things."

I laughed, but hurriedly closed my mouth. Even so, Tatiana finally acknowledged my spirit as well. "It's easy to make me happy, isn't it?"

Tatiana simply shook her head while smiling, understanding.

I was blown away as soon as I entered the main room. Besides being very extensive decoration is quite alluring. Vintage, it looks like this original Victorian interior that has not undergone any changes or renovations at all. All the antiques ranging from table carpet chairs as well as some aesthetically styled paintings. The ceiling is dome-shaped and also given paintings. A set of chandelier chandeliers adorn the center of the room which is usually used as a ballroom during a dance party. Thick curtains marun colored with a very beautiful order and house closed every window large and high.

At the end of the room was another smaller room then Mr. Avindale turned right towards the circular staircase. Tatiana and I climbed the stairs one by one, which led to the balcony upstairs. Still following the art teacher, we turned right into one room. Both of the doors were wide open, revealing a room that was quite bright. The entire wall was filled with paintings. In addition there are also partitions arranged in rows and on the partition is hung also some paintings.

"Welcome back" Sir Lucas said to Mr. Avindale.

"Thank you, my friend. So where's the painting you want to show me?" ask Mr. Avindale.
