Edward Locke
After learning from Jeanette the few things she was able to report about these two visitors, one of whom has clearly impressed her greatly, he sends the maid on an errand to another part of the manner grounds. He is unsure what to make of the maid’s report – the degree of presumption is simply stunning! He is sure, however, that he does not want any rumors to spread before he has had a chance to ascertain the nature of the situation. Sending the girl away without indicating any problem is clearly the wise course to take. He rings the porter’s bell and leaves instructions for two of the manor guards to meet him in the guest wing.
As the porter leaves to relay the instructions, Edward opens the door to the guest wing and enters the hallway.
