The members of the mansion move along their appointed tasks efficiently and smoothly, never pausing even once to acknowledge the two boys huddle by the window and staring out through the grayness outside.
By the time they have donned their rain gear and are running around under the rainy clouds and through the puddles, splashing water wherever they go, the warm towels and change of clothing are already by the door. Hovering nearby is a little maid whose task will be to warn the older staff when the boys come back in, so that they may wrestle the protesting children ("No really! We're water monsters, you're killing us, aigh!") into dry outfits and then push mugs of thick hot chocolate into their eager, chilled hands so that they may be warmed up and fussed over, as all little boys coming out of the rain ought to be.
