It took Fredrick a few seconds before he stood up himself and looked around "I bet you boys still have to find some of those chocolates" he mused and watched their faces light up "Sir John? Would you take your mother, sister and brothers into the living room so I can talk with your father in private in my office?" He looked at John and nodded, he felt a bit awkward now he had to be alone with the man. A fine bottle of whisky awaited them in his office. Knowing he had to drink some of it made him slightly nervous.
"it would be my pleasure" Sir John said and jumped out of his seat. Williams opened the door to the corridor and smiled at the small boys running past him. He nodded politely towards Jenny and Anne when the passed. Fredrick stood still inside the corridor until John came out and gestured him to come towards one of the other rooms. He hoped that John would not touch any of his drawings or comment on the stacks of papers and books.
