Trip to the University

The lunch was quite heartwarming with roasted beef, roasted potatoes, vegetables & Yorkshire pudding with a glass of ginger beer.

"This type of lunch reminds me of my pretty good old aunty. She used to raise me up & Dad said that she cooked exactly like mom though I never had the chance to taste her's. I miss her dishes..." sighed Nicolas.

Oswald patted his friend on his saying, "Well boy you are always welcome to lunch with us".

"Yes, do tell what your favorite dishes are. I will ask Lily to prepare them." smiled Mrs. William.

"Madame is everything fine ?" asked Lily cautiously, the house cook hearing her name in the conversation.

"Absolutely. Very fine dishes you have prepared Lily!" praised Mrs William. The house cook smiled brightly & went into the kitchen.

After the lunch Oswald & Nicolas had to rest for half an hour under the strict orders of Mrs.William.

"I will not allow you kids to go out just after lunch. You should rest for half an hour before going out for a journey or doing any heavy work. That's good for your body and heart and keeps you fit. If you don't listen then forgot about lunches from this house in future. I mean it..." Both of them couldn't bear the thought of not getting those mouthwatering & healthy lunches from Mrs. William in future so they had to stay back & rest. As long as Mrs. William was present everyone had to pay heed to her orders. It didn't matter to her whether she ordered the Advisors of the Queen or her own son and his friend. Any way or the other they had to listen.

After that Mrs.William herself packed tasty edibles & drinks in their both backpacks. Oswald and Nicolas set out for the journey to the university. They reached there within 2 hours. They had passed out of this university 3 years ago but nothing really had changed. Going back there was like returning back home. It held so many happy & sad memories. The professors were so kind & helpful. They were standing before none other than the great University of Oxford. They walked along the way over the vast lawn & entered the university. Students were walking and talking all around them. The atmosphere was very lively. Professor David was already waiting to welcome them.
