Most Unusual, I Daresay!
A seriously-attired woman in her mid-fourties has just appeared on the Mansion's doorstep. She carries a large stack of essays, and wears a brown tweed dress and a look of utter befuddlement.
"Excuse me! Does anyone know how I can get back to Oxford? These must be read and returned to their owners quite promptly. I should hate to be out of my office for to long; people might talk!"
She does not elaborate on what, exactly they would talk about. One must exercise some discretion, after all.
