Puzzle :::
My 4 children, Robert, David, Melissa and Bailey, had a race across the yard. David was
as many plces behind Melissa as Bailey was ahead of Robert. Melissa was not first and
Robert was not second.
What order did they come in?

Professor Layton watched from the doorway as the two other members of his household talked. After Ilizaveta had comforted Luke he saw her begin to sew the boy's torn pants once more. To him it looked like a picture from a book. Ilizaveta sewing and Luke reading his book just seemed ... right. He smiled a little. "Luke my boy how is your studding coming along?" He asked as he leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms. Ilizaveta jumped and her face showed confusion for a moment. "Did I scare you?" He asked a bit concerned.

"Yes ... just a bit though ..." She answered breathing heavily. "Its okay though. I'm always jumpy." She laughed a little and looked down at the hole she was repairing.

"Professor when do you think our next mystery will come in?" Luke asked looking up from his book.

Layton made a strange face since his question to Luke seemed to have been ignored. "I'm not sure. Perhaps soon. The world is full of mystery's my boy."

"Luke you have to be getting to bed soon." Ilizaveta said as she nursed a pricked finger. "Aren't you getting sleepy?"

Luke looked up and yawned. "Nope." He answered.

Layton shook his head. "Time for bed Luke. Go on upstairs."

Luke scrunched up his nose before he walked sullenly up the stairs.

"I'll be up in a minute Luke to make sure you're covered up and in bed. ... Or in bed and covered up ... Whichever comes first." Ilizaveta called after him.

Layton sat down in his favorite chair and took out a book.

"Miss Ilizaveta can you tell me something?"Layton asked not looking up. He could feel her eyes on him burning with confusion.

"Yes Professor." She replied beginning to sew again.

"Why are you here? ... Well that's a rude way to put it. What I mean is ... Why do you work for me? I'm sure many people in town would have you and pay you more than I can."

"Well I like it here." She replied. "You're kind and Luke is just darling. I love you both. Besides you pay me well enough and you give me free room and board as well as food. A girl couldn't ask for much more." She cocked her head to one side and smiled.

"I heard Luke ask you about getting married." Layton said. "I have to admit if you left this household would probably fall to the ground. I can't cook or clean. You've seen my room." He laughed a little.

He heard her laughter. "Yes Professor. I've tried to clean it on several occasions."

They smiled at each other across the room. Layton found himself happy she wouldn't be leaving any time soon. Luke needed a mother figure and Ilizaveta was the closest he had ever been to one.

"Do you have anything that needs mending?" She asked looking up from her finished job. "I may as well get it all while I have my kit out."

"I think one of my jackets may have a small tear if you wouldn't mind." Layton replied standing up. Yes Ilizaveta was needed in the house. If she wasn't there surely he and Luke would go though several boxes of cloths a month.

"Bring it here Professor. I can get it in before I head off to bed."

"Yes Miss." Layton said nodding politely before he got his coat.

Sitting down on his bed that night and looking at the perfectly mended tear in his jacket Hershel Layton thought about what the future might hold. For some odd reason he had the feeling someone else may join their happy little household. He couldn't explain why he thought that there was just this feeling deep down.

Next door to his room he could hear Luke's rhythmic snores. On the other side of his room he could hear Ilizaveta humming. He smiled. Such familiar sounds always found a way to put him to sleep. As he lay back in his bed He could hear Ilizaveta walk across the floor to her own bed. He clicked his own light off and silently said goodnight to the two on either side of him.

Morning was always a fun time. Professor Layton would always wake up to the smell of breakfast. The bacon smell made its way to his nose and he got up. His stomach growled at him and he frowned down at it. "Alright I'm going ..." He said as he got dressed and placed his trademark hat onto his head.

"Breakfast smells great Miss Ilizaveta." Layton remarked as he sat down in his seat.

Ilizaveta smiled down at him and sat his plate down. "Eat up Professor a letter came for you I believe."

"Could you bring it to me? Oh ... And where is Luke?"

"I think hes in bed still. He didn't look to well when I checked in on him this morning. I told him to stay in bed for a little while to get better."

"Alright Miss Ilizaveta. Thank you." Layton ate his food and began to read the morning paper as Ilizaveta went to fetch the letter. ... What would it hold?

As she sat the letter in front of him he couldn't help but notice there was no return address on the envelope. How curious. Slowly he read the letter over then he took it to the fire place and threw it in. Ilizaveta eyed him.

"Why did you do that Professor?"

"Simple my dear. That was just someones idea of a joke. I will spare you of what horrible things it said. It was not for the ears of a lady." Yes Professor Layton was a gentleman after all.
