[Text:] A mystery? Ooh I do love mysteries. Okay. Well the greatest of Victorian time? Are you referring to Big Ben? And I presume you’re talking about the Poet’s corner in the South Transept of Westminster Abbey? I’m a tad confused as to what the puzzle piece is though. I don’t know if I’m even close. -Violet
No, Love. [shows her his phone that displays the date and smiles kindly] Well, I thought you,me and your granddaughter could go shopping.
Oh. -Violets face falls slightly- I feel ever so embarrassed. I must have-… Well I-I.. Hm. I suppose I just looked at the wrong day on the calender.
-Brightens up slightly- Shopping? Really? Yes. I’d like that darling.
It’s okay. Without my phone I’d lose track too. don’t think too much about it.
I thought you’d like to take Ellie for her first taste of icecream. She does love her nan.
Really? I’d love that John. Thank you. She’s such a cute little thing. When shall we go?
And I need to go to the Sunday market. I wonder if one of the neighbours would volunteer to take me.
It’s Monday and you don’t drive.
Are you feeling alright, Mummy?
It’s Monday? Don’t be ridiculous Mycroft, it’s not Monday. Yesterday was Saturday because I did my usual ritual of sitting on the porch with a cup of tea whilst reading a book.
Of course. I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be? You’re the one getting your days muddled up.
No, yesterday was Sunday. Sunday the 16th of June. It was Father’s Day. I got drunk at work and thought about how odd it is that I actually cared for my father.
Perhaps you are ill?
It was Father’s Day? Oh-.. I hadn’t noticed. Goodness. I-I suppose I just got my dates mixed up. Too much paperwork addles my brain!
Ill? No. No I’m not ill. I’m perfectly fine. I’m in good health. I’m not ill.
And I need to go to the Sunday market. I wonder if one of the neighbours would volunteer to take me.
It’s monday, Violet, love. I can take you where you want. I don’t drive, but I have money for a cab.
It’s Monday? No… No John it’s not. I’m nearly sure it’s Sunday. I think you’ve overworked yourself sweetheart. And you needn’t do that. I don’t want to be any trouble. I’m sure I’ll find the keys around here somewhere.
