Sarah had Tuesdays off while Daisy had Wednesday off. That is unless there would be a party or guests over in which they would be given a different day to take off. 

During Sarah's days off she would go from inn to pub to lodging in search of any sign of her family having stayed their. Daisy even helped on her day off. After a few weeks they began to look in neighboring towns and villages. Though their search did not yield much results. 

 On a Wednesday morning, as Daisy and Sarah walked passed Ms. Fera's office she called out to the pair. 

"Girls, Sir Hadforth is going to Eastwell manor. You will travel ahead in order to prepare for his arrival. so make any necessary plans accordingly." 

"Yes, Ms. Fera." Daisy and Sarah said almost in unison. They then went up the stairs to the master bedroom. They started with taking the blankets off the bed. Ellie was scooping soot out of the fireplace. 

"Ellie are you joining us at Eastwell?" Sarah asked stopping a moment to look at her.

"Yes, it will be my first time.I hear it is very beautiful" Ellie said without stopping her work. 

"It will be the first time that I go as well, though I do not know anything about it." Sarah chimed in. 

"It is quite beautiful. And very grand. The estate used to being to his great grand father and has been passed down. Sir Hadforth's father opened a mill with their money and he took over the business when his father died." Ellie said in awe.

"Well, We shall say no more on the topic of how it looks. I want to see the suprise on your face." Daisy laughed.

The girls went about their work with great excitement. Sarah kept asking Daisy for details though she continued to give none.

The following days were pretty much the same with getting anticipation. The excitement to go somewhere new or different and to see something quite beautiful made them very excited. It was a house in which Sarah could expand her search. 

Sarah knew that the Hadforth residence was north and close to a desert. They would be two days ride from Chiten City and only a two hour walk from two new towns that Sarah had never been to. While her search was slow and did not result in much she continued to hope.  

Sarah and Daisy paid for the rooms in advance so not to lose it. They packed their work dresses and some of their other items such as Sarah's book. With Sarah's bag and Daisy's suitcase the pair traveled to their familiar restaurant and are before heading to the Hadforth residence. 

Upon arriving at the Hadforth residence they spotted a carriage. It was small and would only fit about for people comfortably. The carriage was enclosed with a door on either side and two padded wooded benches that faces each other. The carriage was not at all fancy but it serves it's purpose well. 

Sarah and Daisy sat next to them giving their luggage to the driver. He would put all the bags in the back and strap them in. Sarah and Daisy sat together while Ellie and one of the footmen Dan say accuse from them.

The journey itself was very long and tiring. The seats were not very comfortable after many hours of sitting on them though no one complained. It was as though to complain about it would make everyone feel worse. Instead they played some games and talked. 

One the first day of those journey they stopped at an Inn to get some food and sleep. Early the next morning they began to journey again. 

After quite some time Daisy gasped slightly. "I can see it!" She said excitedly.
