CHAPTER 2
MELANCOLIE

Once home, a letter attracted his attention, it was Albert who asked him to come urgently.
Candy: Keep it bizarre, his tone seems more anxious than usual. Not a letter from Terry, it must be taken, I suppose she told herself with a sigh, disappointed.
An unknown writing drew his attention to several letters. She opened one, it was Daniel who made declarations of love or rather threats.
C: Definitely, it does not really disarm! What idiot is said Candy. Going to have to go back to my little patients, Dr. Martin must need me.
George was waiting for the next day on the porch, very punctual as usual.
Candy: Hi George, do you know how is Albert?
George: Do not worry Miss, everything goes well
Candy: Georges you sure you okay? Candy asked insistently
George: But yes, I assure you, Miss answered it with a hesitant tone
Candy: I'm hiding something and I would like to know is what Candy says, I hope this is not bad news.
Albert: Hi Candy how are you? Thank you for coming so quickly
Candy: Hi Albert, what happens? I'm really worried, there is something, tell me?
Albert: But what will you look here, everything is going well, I assure you. I hope that Daniel has calmed down but I am going to understand some things, believe me!
Candy: (something is wrong, it is different, he looks concerned, what happens? It has changed, it is now in costume, definitely, I believe that I had not given full account the importance that it may be especially and reputation).
Albert: I wanted to see you before you leave
It issues: How Albert, you're going? Oh no! Please, do not here
Albert: Do not worry, you just as I returned to Europe for some time
Candy: (In Europe? But I could then join Terry says. And where Albert here in Europe?
Albert: In Scotland, the birthplace of our family, this does not m'enchante, but I am really obliged to return. A family council is held and I want to be
Candy: (So, the birthplace of André family is in Scotland? This explains why Ali, Archi and Anthony were kilt when I met them). Albert turned his back and went to the window.
Candy: (I could go with him to join Terry in Europe, I miss it so), Candy sighed. Albert what is that?, Tell me, please
He turned and was struck by the similarity of attitude offered Candy with his late sister Rosemary Brown was really disturbing
Albert: Candy, I must tell you, before leaving, I would be absent at least two months, the family ANDRE is well known in Scotland, one of the best known, although I do not know, because it does not change anything, but you need to know. We are actually cousins with the Stuart dynasty, which as you know, have been temporarily kings of Scotland.
Candy: What? But how is it? I do, I can not, this is impossible. I belong to you? I, but I do. she began to stutter
Albert: I beg you Candy, t'adopter in our family was that of happiness. Through your kindness and your gentleness, so you have brought, I beg you.
The words of Sister Maria and Miss Pony revirent his ears Candy: Thank you Albert, since you ask kindly, I remain. But how is it that the family is scattered and I?
Albert: It's a bit complicated, I explain. I have to see Aunt Elroy tomorrow and have two stages to go to Europe for business
Candy: (it does not even come with him, I can not ask him to cancel these steps for me and yet it was the occasion for me to ever see Terry). Curiously qu'Albert she felt him hiding something but she could not yet know what. She felt that it was called something else. She did not know if Flanny went to France, but if it was not the case, she felt that we should not push to hasten his departure.
Candy: (And yet it cost me to leave the house behind me Pony and Archibald and Anne, but I want to make myself useful, to make something. I was already at the Dr. Martin, but I 'I want to move to another dimension. should say to Albert, but it seems so strange today, I do not think this is his new role he rises to the head, I'm starting to know anyway, it's not something else)
Albert: Candy?
Candy: Yes?
Albert: Do not worry, even if I leave momentarily, I would leave instructions for than at any time, you will not be bored, I promise
Candy: Thank you Albert, but he has no interest in again because he will see what I wood heater!
Albert: Oh, here I doubt! No problem
Candy: (But do not ask me why does it not come to Europe with him? In ordinary times, I am sure that I would have suggested, I do not know why there is something wrong something important ..)
She thought to Terry, but also about other things, it was weird. Some things go in his head, believing it to see clear, finally felt in a total blur.
Albert: Do you think we do a few steps behind in the woods?
Candy: Of course, (he might tell me something this time, finally!)
The time was about to fall. The leaves were beginning to take color, it was not too fresh. The recent heat retired but time was still wrapped in softness, the sun of late afternoon playing hide and seek with the trees.
They walked slowly each lost in their thoughts.
Candy: (Well, without realizing it, we got to the cascade of Archibald).
It does not ruminant, rightly. Everyone had grown and matured and yet it was like in search of lost time. She knew that Rose was behind but somehow his instinct told him that this was not the time to go, she felt strange.
Albert: We sit
Candy: (He looks worried, he does not live alone in a large house, and he begins to travel ...)
The sparkling water with the sweet sound of the waterfall streaming as a bundle of money son.
Albert: Candy, I want to know, you really regret having been passed by ANDRE family or were you at least happy among us? Even though I know that our family is really not the most perfect. I think you certainly suffered much sometimes.
Candy: But Albert, I .. (she blushes as she remembered what she wanted to say a few days ago, she wanted to front him as truthful, it did not know what to say). "My little girl, even if not perfect, does not neglect the opportunity given to you because I know wherever you go you will always remain the same, you do not fail. Remember "had told him Miss Pony before leaving)
But Albert, I do not regret anything, I assure you. Although I have lived through difficult times, I do not regret anything, otherwise I would have never known people so wonderful. I assure you, no .. je ne regrette rien. I would always be worthy of your family!
She is surprised to cry in silence at once.
Albert (back turned): namely, whatever one does your choice and you can do what you want. I wanted to tell you ..
Candy: Thank you Albert
They pointed both when Albert suddenly approached the water, a reflection drew attention
Candy: But Albert, attention
Albert: Do not worry, I just saw something buried on the shore
He declined, dug in two seconds and withdrew a box of wood. It had to be very nice but the humidity had swollen the wood, there were pearl inlays made with the mud but they were asking to be cleaned to shine
Candy: Oh God! A treasure she began to joke.
Albert: Yes Albert smiled (as she is beautiful, in a reflection of the sun, so it looks like my sister, I feel like I'm seeing, it's so strange ...) I do not really expect to find this kind of thing here
Candy: What it can contain?
Albert: We'll try to see
The mechanism was locked, and above all completely rusted
Albert: Well, back we are going to see what it contains
They went on to discuss the subject. After completely wiped and cleaned, it could be noted that the wood had suffered greatly but the object was actually a different look. Confusedly believed to have already seen it but did not know where.
However, it was impossible to open despite all the efforts of Albert, there was nothing
Each split. He said he had come to say goodbye the next day.
She slept poorly that night. Very agitated, she wondered what she could well have. This was especially Albert who caused him concern, not to Terry that she wanted to return very hard and the decision it had taken almost going to France.
Candy: So at least I can finally be useful. For once the name of André may help, but it really is for a good cause. Use your name correctly this is how I see things
She fell asleep and fell into a sleep without dreams.
