Chapter 176: Guests over supper

Music Recommendation: Harriet Smith and Robert Martin- Isobel Waller

—

At the time of supper in the Moriarty mansion, every family member was in the dining room when one of the servants appeared at the front of the door and whispered something to the butler. Alfie's eyes slightly widened before he announced, 

"Marquee Hooke, Marchioness Hooke, their daughter Rosetta Hooke and Lady Camille have arrived in the mansion."

Marceline turned surprised as she wasn't expecting any guests to be joining them for dinner. She turned to her parents and asked, "What are the Hookes doing here?" 

Lady Annalise replied, "We thought it was our duty to be hospitable to the Marquee's family who arrived yesterday in town. Mr. and Mrs. Hooke reached out to your father, and it would be rude to not invite them over for a meal."
