The long-awaited day had finally arrived. The Erast visitors would depart for Broughton one day before the festival began.
The gate in Erast would be opened in one of the halls of the Erast branch hotel, while the gate in Broughton would be opened in the hall of the Broughton branch hotel. This arrangement was made to ensure the comfort of the customers, as they wouldn't have to endure sudden extreme weather changes. Moreover, for those who wished to stay overnight, they wouldn't have to go through the hassle of moving to a different hotel room using the carriage.
The royal administration provided document inspections and security services at each Arkwright hotel free of charge. The sudden act of generosity from the king was quite surprising.
