You know, sneaking out in the middle of the night to explore London because your adopted father never takes you on adventures with him and his assistant or apprentice or whatever the heck was one of those things that sounded really good in your head, but when you tried it out? Let's just say things really didn't go the way Flora had planned!
First of all, it was dark at night. Secondly, it was kind of hard to find adventure when everyone besides yourself was asleep! And last but not least, sneaking back into the house when you realized your plan was a dud was kind of hard when your flashlight had run out of batteries and you'd forgotten to take extra with you. Gosh dang it.
So here she was, doing a really awful job of walking back inside and not tripping over everything as she made her way back to her room. Seriously, by the time she got back there, she'd probably run into every single thing that it was possible to run into. She had made as MUCH noise as she possibly could have and she didn't even mean to. Let's just hope the professor didn't hear her, even though he probably did. BEING SNEAKY IS HARD.
With the best hopes in mind, she threw a blanket over her head and collapsed in bed and pretended to sleep. Brilliant.
