We turn around confused "Mr. Holmes?  And, um, Mr. Holmes?" I call out to our brothers, they turn around confused "yes" Sherlock says "you sent for us?" Enola explains "you sent a telegram" I add "asked us to meet you here?" I question "and the fifth thing you need to know is that they haven't seen us in quite some time." Enola says "Enola and Neveah" Sherlock states "my god" Mycroft says in disbelief "look at you, you're in such a mess" Mycroft says in disgust, we look at ourselves and we look fine. "Where's your hat and your gloves?" Mycroft asks us "well we have a hat. It just make our head itch, and we have no gloves" I explain

" they have no gloves?" Mycroft asks Sherlock in disbelief "plainly not, Mycroft" Sherlock states clearly not bothered by us having no gloves "we didn't send for you, silly girls. We sent for the carriage"  Mycroft says "did you at least bring it?" Mycroft asks "the carriage?" I ask confused "yes" Mycroft states "what carriage would you be wanting? because I have a few in mind--" Enola gets cut off by Mycroft saying "the carriage I pay for"  our faces fall "right, I think you may have us confused with another house" I state Mycroft looks annoyed while Sherlock is grinning while turning around to say "boy, fetch us a carriage" to a boy "quickly!" Mycroft orders annoyed.

We are now on the carriage "what the..." Mycroft sighs, I could only just hear him, I look at him confused "oh dear God, look at the house" he says, Enola and I turn around in shock thinking the house is on fire but it isn't, it's fine "isn't it wonderful?" Enola asks as we go through the gates of our estate "what the hell has she been playing at?" Mycroft asks, we get out of the carriage and walk towards the door to meet Mrs. Lane "gentlemen, welcome home, its been some time" she says.

Mycroft, Sherlock, Enola and I walk into the room where we like to play tennis "what is this?" Mycroft asks while picking up a tennis racket "tennis?" I question "mother says we are getting quite proficient" Enola says to Sherlock. I get a flashback of the three of us playing tennis, Enola was sitting out while me and mother play. The ball was bouncing off the walls until I hit it and it smashes a vase "I suppose that's game" mother says.

I come back to reality when Mycroft asks where mother is " I would say this is going quite well wouldn't you?"  I say "the bed hasn't been made" Mycroft complains "hmm, Chrysanthemums" Sherlock says to himself "clothes haven't been put away" Mycroft is still complaining "and laurustinus and Queen Anne's lace" Sherlock continues to mutter to himself. "Enough with the bally flowers Sherlock" Mycroft complains.
