It was dark when they finally arrived. After getting out the car they stretched, feeling as though they had travelled for days when in fact it had only been hours. They walked to the door of the huge house they would be staying in and were met by a maid who took them to a room which seemed to be attached to a suit of rooms. Inside the room sat an old woman, she was still a beauty and had aged gracefully, with a lot of life still in her. She looked at the two boys standing in front of her with a keen eye so they felt as if all of them was being examined, which they were.

Hmmm that would be Tyson wouldn't it, quite stocky, boyish face but I'm sure that will be grown out of, I think he'll be rather handsome in a few years time. Something about him…draws your eye,yes he'll turn out rather nicely.

She then turned to Max

Oh my now this is interesting…pale,slightly lanky, freckles (will probably fade in a few years) and cute.

Here she stopped and looked closer. Years of experience had trained her eyes and she looked deeper;

He'll grow taller with a thin frame…he'll still be cute but in a slightly different way and, yes, I believe he'll turn out to be quite a beauty.

She smiled at the boys and started explaining about the house, school work and other such things, she was going to enjoy the next few years.
