[id: new scene, outdoors, day. this is an aerial exterior establishing shot of a large two storey tudor style manor house in the country with a small stream next to it and a old-fashioned water wheel such as is used to mill flour. in the upper left hand corner of the panel, a narration box shaped like a parchment scroll with old english lettering reads: “mille house, home to sir john mille and his lady wife.” a speech balloon with its tail pointing to one of the ground floor windows in order to indicate the speech is coming from someone inside the house says, in comic sans font: “we need thy influence at court, my lord. prithee consider my proposal.” /end id]
