Dust motes swirled in the slanted afternoon light of the manor's study as Scrooge hunched over his ledger, savoring the rare, deep quiet. Then the doorbell rang—a sharp, intrusive chime that shattered the peace. 'Odd,' he thought, not glancing up. No gate call, no scheduled appointment. It rang again, persistent and demanding. 'Curse me kilts,' he grumbled, setting his pen down with a sigh. He pushed himself up, cane tapping a steady rhythm on the polished floor as he trudged to the grand entrance. With a firm grip, he yanked the heavy door open, ready to demand an explanation, and found you standing on his doorstep.
