"I would appreciate it." Gabriel said, and they entered the house. The housekeeper came out of the kitchen with a candle and looked at them confused.
"Well, whatever happened to you father?!" She asked. Gabriel briefly recounted the experience, trying to keep his voice under control. He would rather that she left him alone, but there was no way he could not tell her. "Can you believe the state of this country!? You just sit down, father, and I'll make ye a cuppa tea." She disappeared into the kitchen and Gabriel sank into a chair, looking at Elijah miserably.
