It was in the mid late November that Lusbet at arrived from steam boat to the port of London. The Thames was quiet beneath all the dense smoke the boats where making.

He would at preferred Grimsby Port but unfortunately it was not possible at the just short notice.

He whore a long black coat slenderly wrapped around his tall figure, he stood above the normal man, and the exquisite top hat with a silver stripe only made him a easy target to spot among the crowd.

But alas he had no time he took his luggage with consisted in a square travel bag and and searched for a first mate on the ship.

-Excuse me gentleman - he said with a raw english accent, a bit rough on the edges and with a bit of romani on the mixture - can you direct me to where can i get a chariot ?

The young man startled a bit seeing the tall long figure in the rain, his blue eyes in the pale soft face, almost as painted picture.

-well sir you can get a chariot right there see - he pointed to the side of the street where a flog of people went after leaving the boats.

-Thank you - he turned to leave but stooped - Could you help me one last time kind boy. I brought a very dear piece of art with me it is in the wooden crate in the hangar. I will give you 5 shillins now and 5 later if you would deliver it to the "Tutor House Harrighton" ask for Lusbet the new tutor.

The boy took the coins and rapidly leave to take care of the easiest money i would earn that day.


Lusbet entered the door of the Tutor House with his clothes drenched, like his humor, it had been a cold day, and it should be a even colder night.

It was almost past six and so the students had already leaved the House, a pity he tough he was hoping to see what the country had to offer him but all in good time.
 
Bessie felt her crinoline skirts swishing around here legs as she left the tutor house. She stopped dead still, leaving her friends trailing ahead of her. Standing in the door, wet to the bones was a man of such magnificence, Bessie could barely breathe.
She never got to find out who the mystery man was though, after being shunted of by her friends
 
The Tutor House was an old three floor House with some reminiscent of "Italianete" style. It was in a good location near an all girls school, from where most of its students came.
The upper floor was the residence for the tutors if so they pleased, that is where Lusbet was accommodated, last room on the floor, a barren room with not much inside, a bed a closet and one old desk.

He did not mind because the only think he needed was a quiet spot from where he could indulge in his activities.

The second floor where for classes, some rooms where for groups of students but some where for more private lessons.

The first floor was open where Tutors and students could spend some time, there was a room for eating, and another for chatting, and of course the principals room.


It was early morning the sun was hidden behind the dark clouds, from his window Lusbet could see them freely walking with their uniforms with not a single care in the world.

A group of three young where walking in a fast pace almost if late for class, his eyes stooped on one of them, the shorter one, with curly red hair bouncing on her back, one sweet ivory girl he tough, and for his surprise she turned and looked right at him...
