Eloise took a deep breath and stepped into the room where she heard Agatha ushering Iris to get dressed. She knocked on the door to bring their attention to her.
"Eloise!" Iris cheerfully greeted Eloise. "I have been waiting ever so patiently for you to arrive. See, I said she would come," she said, leaving Agatha's side. "Did you see your father?"
Eloise smiled as Iris held her hand. "I did see him. Thank you for what you did for me."
"It was dangerous of you to run away when your uncle was away from you. Not to mention careless to wrap Iris into your plans. I hope that overnight you have woken up and will not be so careless again," Agatha said, placing her hands on her hips.
"I have woken up from the dream I seemed to be living in. Iris, could I speak to you alone-"
