Basil did return to the school the next day, but not alone. Along with him was a pair of adults.
One was
a very pretty woman just on the cusp of becoming middle aged, and seemingly using all of the money available to her to do so as gracefully as possible given that she wasn't dying away her greys. She was
dressed to kill with a
hat and
jacket to match, the click of her
Louboutins announcing her as she walked. She was exceptionally lithe, and probably didn't waste a lot of time on anything substantial as far as meals were concerned.
The other was a
redheaded male dressed in slacks, a dress shirt,a tie and a vest, with his sleeves rolled up to the elbows and an ascot cap.
Basil's suit was walking along with them, but not nearly as quickly as the woman. The redheaded man matched his pace, and shot him a look that might have been pity, but only for a moment.
