“His mother’s butler announced as Wolfe walked into her morning room, although it happened to be three in the afternoon.

“What brings my favorite son here on such a miserable day?” She swept a hand toward the rain steadily tapping against the window.
Sitting in the seat across from her, he waited while she ordered some food and tea. “First, I am your only son and, second, do I need a reason to visit my mother?”
