Hi! First I have to tell, that I'm sorry because I haven't added the new chapter foe a while, but I was busy.

Unfortunately I didn't get any reviews, so I can just hope, you like and read my story.

Now, let's get start it!

Chapter 7

Lord Roxton's eyes opened fully as he recognized him

-Richard?

He nodded yes. Roxton grinned, than almost shouted:

-Whoa, you've grown up, lad!

-I had 20 years for it.- Now he looked too with a boyish grin on his face, just like Roxton.

-You still know joking, don't you? - said John and manly patted his shoulder.

-Aou!

-Are youso weak?

-You would be too, if a piece of iron would knock you out. - He answered, as he friendly hit his head back.

Marguerete recognized her feeling. He was as like Roxton. That Cheshire cat grin told everything, she had to know…

-Hurray! Another clown! - Passed her lips, and Veronica started to laugh bit on her remark. This interruption made Roxton to look up:

-Well, my dear friend. Please allow me to introduce the only son of Lord Goffrey Redgrave, Richard Redgrave, the heir of the Startfass estate.

-Little by little, the full House of Lords will move here. – joked Malone

-The last time we met was 20 years ago. He was only 6, but together we could drive full Avebury crazy.

-I'll never forget that summer. Do you remember the case of the cook and the dead frog?

-Before you would tell us a story, what destroy our last hope in the English upper class – interrupted Marguerete –would you be so kind and asks your friend how has he come here?

-It's hard to say, but Marguerete is right.

For a time, Richard stared before him, but than he started

- There is nothing interesting I can tell. I had an opportunity to go to Atlanta for a business. In London I met with one of my old friends, who entrusted her nephew to me. He is Charles Dawson. He's a strange boy, I must admit it. He is not like we were – he grinned

- There is truth…- sighed Marguerete to Veronica

- The storm in the ship was suddenly. One moment we were on board, than in the water. I think, something knocked me out.

Roxton listened to him without a move. Something wasn't right with the boy. His hunter instinct told him, that he missed something from his story. Maybe later, he will tell him, maybe it's personal.

- It can be in contact with my theory about the shifting planes of reality. - Said Challenger- Anyway, now we had better to go bed- he stated- Tomorrow, we will clean those things. Good night! - Than he left

-Now, the only question is where will we sleep? - asked the heiress

- Yes, Marguerete's room in occupied at the moment. - said Veronica

- In this case, I gallantly offer my bed to the lady- neared Roxton with a significant look on his face to the women of his dreams. Marguerete shivered when he stopped only an inch before her and she felt his hot breath on her face. She needed all of her cold blood now.

-Alwaysthe gentleman, Lord Roxton- she looked in his eyes- You get 5 minutes to bring out what you want- and she made a wicked smile

- All I want is here now- he answered, as he leaned against the wall with one hand behind the women.

-In this case…- she said slowly, closing the distance between their faces- I can go. Good night! - She ended it in hurry and quickly went away.

-Can I see Charlie? - asked with concern in his eyes Richard.

Veronica escorted him to Mergueret's room. The guest was sleeping. Richard looked in, and said:

-He is a strange kid, isn't he? - Than went out.

-Yes… strange- that was all she could answer before shefolloowed him.

Now, we know everything. Or not:)))

I'm sorry it's so short, but as I told I had not too much time for it.

Please, R&R!
