บท 338: Lady of the manor (1)

During the ride back to the manor, Annalise switched her seat to sit beside Beatrice to let Beatrice lean on her shoulder to sleep when she became tired. Annalise stayed awake most of the ride, looking out the carriage window at the homes and land they passed by. 

There was still much for her to see and she didn't want to miss any of it right now. 

They eventually reached the manor gates and since they didn't know where River was, Beatrice was going to spend the day in the manor. They arrived just in time for breakfast to be served and as the gates opened, Annalise saw Edwin rushing outside while Mavis went back inside most likely to get a few maids to help with unpacking. 

Annalise didn't attempt to get out of the carriage right away when it stopped because Beatrice was still resting on her shoulder. She waited for a few minutes and then tapped Beatrice on her hand to wake her.
