As was perhaps to be expected in such an environment, Darcy had taken of late to a decidedly more casual manner of dress. He would likely never be comfortable in the brightly-colored, often vulgar modern clothing that the basement bin saw fit to so often provide, but he was satisfied enough with the few articles he had procured from his own time period, and most days went about without any sort of coat on and his linen shirt opened at the neck due to the often oppressive heat.

After stopping before the front door, he gave himself only a few seconds to collect his thoughts before he rapped smartly against the wood twice, and waited.
