      It is nice that you have tried Abubaker, but it seems your reading skills are not working to the best of their ability today.

      In English you struggled with clues and here you have struggled to understand when Holmes is speaking Vs Abigail.

      -Holmes said “A guest? Ah a guest. Good morning Miss….? Miss Everly. Abigail Everly” The girl bowed her head.-

      Holmes is saying good morning but does not know the ladies name, hence the ?

      The girl, bows her head when sharing her name Abigail.

      Correct structure;
      Holmes said “A guest? Ah a guest. Good morning Miss…?”
      “Miss Everly. Abigail Everly”

      Well done Rasan, mostly correct. However could you explain why the following sentence is grammatically incorrect;
