The Disraeli's
The next morning I went to the Waterloo train station waiting for the train hideout. About 30 minutes later the train arrived and I hoped on the train. I see Jacob with Evie, but it looked like they were talking to somebody.
I walk closer to them, I hear two other voices that sounded familiar, a man and a woman. Then I see them, Mary Anne and Benjamin Disraeli, my aunt and uncle. Mary Anne Disraeli is my father's older half sister.
" Auntie? Uncle?" I say. Auntie Mary looks at me and smiles, and she runs up to me.
" Emmy?" she says the nick name she gave me as a child gleefully. I look at her and smile.
" I haven't seen you in two years!" I smile, and she starts giving me so many kisses on my cheeks. Then she turns around and looks at uncle.
" Oh Dizzy, look how beautiful Emmy has gotten," uncle comes over and gives me a hug. I look at both Jacob and Evie who were shocked that I was related to the Disraeli's. But then Evie shakes her head.
" Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli, I hate to break up the reunion, but we do need invitations to the ball tonight," Evie says.
" If that damnd fool, Gladstone, is attending this evening then they can have my card," uncle says with hate in his voice.
" Perfect, then I'll go alone," Jacob says. Evie stops him.
" Mrs. Disraeli, if you would be kind enough to inform my darling brother of the location of the Gladstone residence, perhaps he can use his considerable skills to commander their cards," Evie say, volunteering her brother. Auntie laughs.
" What fun! Did you hear that Dizzy? We're going to 'pinch' the Gladstone's invitation's," Auntie turns to uncle. He smiles, then I look over to Jacob and Evie.
" Thank you for volunteering me 'sweet' sister," Jacob fake smiles. I laugh a little.
" Oh pleasure, brother dearest. Now Mrs. Disraeli, if you would excuse me. I must visit with the Maharaja. It occurs to me that he may have a second set of plans to a certain vault," Evie says.
Evie leaves, then Auntie pokes me.
" Emmy, how do you know Mr. and Miss. Frye?" I smile,
" Well, a little over a month ago, uncle introduced me to them," I say. Then Jacob slips his hand around me and kisses the top of my head. Auntie smiles.
" Oh, I see you two are courting," Auntie says, she turns to Jacob, " So my little Emmy is the girl you were telling me about," Jacob looks at me.
" Well Emily, I'm off to get those invitations," he says before kissing my cheek. After Jacob leaves, Auntie slips her arm with my arm and walks out of the train with me.
" Come, we have a lot to discuss," she says. Then we were off.
