Tobi happened to be at the landing by the time he showed up, her hired companion at her heel. She heard her name and her heart beat faster. The girl waved a little excitedly and said, "He is here for me! Please, Sir, this way." She and the other woman would then lead him to a table. "Please, sit, and I'll be happy to provide you with a late meal if you are hungry. I do not wish to eat in front of you. Mr. Wells, you said?"
The girl was very polite and he might catch a glimpse of the real picture that was used in the paper, and it resembled that drawing of that man Pippa was frightened of, especially when she set the whole thing on the table. There was a smaller picture of Pippa within that article.
The title was bold: Danes Family Murderer Found Guilty, To Be Hanged
This would be clearly visible if he looked but she did not immediately hand it over. She was quite anxious looking as she regarded him with an almost desperate air.
"This is my companion, Marianne Winters," the woman in question gave a soft nod but when it was time to order, she took the reigns because she knew well what the girl ate, "I think a platter of meat and cheese, beef and chicken, no pork please... Some of your Earl Grey tea with a little lavender, cups and plates for us all. And also whatever the gentleman shall be eating and drinking if he would like something else..." Tobi merely nodded and then closed her eyes, forcing herself to find calm.

The title was bold: Danes Family Murderer Found Guilty, To Be Hanged
Quote:Mr. Thomas Kritch, partner in the Danes' Family Textile, has been found guilty of the mass murders of the Danes family and servants, sixteen counts, arson, obstruction of justice, and several other serious charges. He shall be hanged by the neck until death.
Philippa Danes, the sole survivor due to her absence during the carnage, is still said to be missing at this time, but witnesses state that she was last seen boarding a ship bound for England. A reward of one hundred dollars has been put in place for anyone who can successfully locate Ms. Danes offered by the Zimmerman family, who are closely acquainted with the Danes family...
