The Inevitable . . .

He knew that it was inevitable, but he had no idea that he would do it so soon. . When they heard the news, they could believe neither their ears nor their eyes. Its strong smell dashed into their nostrils and brought them to their senses. It has happened. They never had a hint of the revolution taking place so silently and secretly around them. Clearly he had taken enough precautions not to raise an iota of doubt in their minds. And while they were away for a few hours picking up supplies from the nearby market, he planned each of his steps and completed his mission. They returned home to find a surprise waiting for them in the drawing room where it was kept as a proof that he could do it too if situation demands for it.
