Chapter 27

After lunch, Michael kept his word. He found out where the Russells were staying and found they weren't that far away. He went there, walking.

When the butler received him, Michael identified himself and waited. Paul was called and, when Jackeline and Emily saw him go by, with long strides, they decided to follow him, since he passed so fast that they didn't even have time to go and call him.

The butler was getting back from the entrance door.

"Who's out there?" Jackeline asked hurriedly, with Emily glued to her.

"Young Michael Crawford, miss."

"Michael Crawford?" Emily repeated in a questioning tone. "But he's the Duke of Windsor's nephew, isn't he?"

"Yes ma'am." The butler answered and, more than quickly, the two followed the path of the door, behind Paul.
