William had gotten the sleeper from London to whitby and thankfully it had been quiet during the night so he had been able to get some sleep on the train journey up.

The porter had made his bed for the evening and he had grabbed a light breakfast of scrambled egg on toast. He had never been so glad to get home after spending two weeks working away in London to establish a store. Thankfully and hopefully this should be his last trip unless he had to go sort something out.

Right now his thoughts drifted to his true love, Beth would be waiting for him at home with the kids. It was time to have some family time and unwind a little before getting back into work in the next week or two.

His steamer trunk didn't weight much which was lucky. Just his clothes and something for the boys. He had sent that ahead to avoid trying to get it back to the house. He only had his valise bag with him which had enough for two days.

He made his way along the streets rather quickly which was surprising as he was lost in his thoughts when he realised he was turning the street towards his house.
