"Molly, Archie's on the phone, he wants to talk to you. He's got some news," called Paul.

"Oh, thank you, Paul." said Molly, a smile spreading across her face at the thought of her son.

"Mother?" Archie said.

"Archie? Archie, how are you, dear? And Lexie? Are you all eating properly? And what about Amanda?" Molly asked, inquiring about her three-year-old granddaughter, whom she doted on incredibly.

"Yes, yes, we're all fine. Listen, it's the house, we've got rats. The fumigators are coming next week. Could we stay? We were planning on coming up on Saturday, is that ok with you?" asked Archie.

"A visit! Of course! Archie, this is your home, you need'nt even ask! How long are you planning to stay?" Molly said.

" Two weeks or so?"

"Yes, brilliant! OK, I'll see you soon! Send my love to Lexie and Amanda!"

"Bye Mother." Said Archie, and put down the receiver.

Molly had missed Archie so. Ever since he decided he didn't want to be laird, Molly felt like there was a part missing from her. But a visit! This was wonderful news. She just loved seeing little Amanda as well, with her large blue eyes, and dark soft hair. She left there and then to call a house meeting to tell everyone the news.
