Ida waited at one end of the corridor, and Ruth took the charge on the other end. Their job was to keep anyone coming any closer to Lord Augustus's office when Elsie try to get her hands on his journal.
Once Elsie would distract her father, then it was Ruth's duty to keep him engaged until Elsie get the correct information from his journal.
Edwin and Lester purposefully stayed in the old building. Rees was somewhere in 'the great manor' in case the ladies needed any help.
Thea was working well at her assigned job as well.
Elsie knew that her father either must be reading something or might be resting. She did not understand how could he spend all his time locked up in that office.
After receiving encouraging nods from her two partners on the job, Elsie took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
She heard rustling sounds coming from behind the door. A minute later, the door was opened by her father himself. He must have locked it from inside before.
