Chapter 220: 220

Henry checked his watch as the silence stretched, he was about to rap against the door again when a door opened in his face to meet an alarmed man whose bald head shone brightly.  Both men stared at each other confused silence before Ellie's head peered in between him. The old man dropped the cushions he'd been holding before opening his arms up in surprise.  "Lady Eleanor! My goodness! You've gotten so tall, sprouted right up like the tree you always were. Well! You've done so well! Welcome! I can't keep it to myself how it's an honor to serve you here back at what is now your home." The man squatted in what Henry realized was a position to prevent strain on the knees while still bowing. "I'm glad that now I have the privilege of calling you Baroness Braye. It's spectacular that you've got an impressive husband along with you.  All good things that the tenants and staff cannot wait to celebrate with you. We have been all delighted to have you back here with us."
