The Ivory Child Chapter 3 - Miss Holmes

In which a grand estate plays host to a glittering and stately gathering where I am introduced to Miss Holmes, a striking young lady whose mysterious bearing and curious birthmark hint at greater depths beneath her genteel exterior. Amid the splendour and polite discourse, we share a conversation of enigmatic visions and distant lands, drawing me into reflections on fate and the unknown ties that bind us to faraway Africa.
