Enjoining the evening?
Count Tenheim. I Presume?
At your service my lord???
You may call me Scoria. I’ve been watching you dance with young baroness
Prudence, such
A… lovely creature
Yes, unfortunately her loveliness is owned by someone rude enough not to even
appear
With her. Even in such pleasant masquerades as tonight
Well some do not simply have the proper out bringing to attend this kind of pleasures
Apparently so, lord Scoria. it may be the spanish way to raise sails and let
the beauty
Wither ashore
Look at her amongst all this joy, mourning and sighing. Wouldn’t you like to set those sad
Longing eyes aflame again? To have her and afterwards kiss that swanlike neck
goodnight?
I… I Beg your pardon, my lord
Do not insult me with petty morality, dear count. I know exactly how
desperately you thirst
After her. With how much anguish you envy that halfbreed Antracon for owning
her loyalty
If only I could open her eyes from that blindness
I think we have a way to remedy that
Dear sir. are you suggesting that I would do the dirty deed of yours…
of god only
Knows what intentions?
My intentions. Are merely of setting her free of that endless longing.
I’m not asking you
To do anything, but to follow your own desires. Few words from a loyal servant
of your’s will do Few words. From my servant?
Just a word placed in the ear of Antracon’s crew. He’s ship, «Providence»,
is due to Southampton within few weeks. When it arrives we can perhaps put one of your
servants on the
Payroll all we need is few words, like count Tenheim has…
…Slept with young baroness Prudence
Aye! You watch your mouth gadgie. I can’t believe it out off her
That’s the bleeding bloody honest truth. By god. Mind you. She is the bleeding
fiance of the
Owner of this ship and all. Didn’t stop the mockers or banging her sheets with
sir tenheim now did
It? No no…
Bloody hell… young sir Antracon ain’t gonna be at all happy when he’ll hear
about it…
…I just can not believe it Well that’s what I heard. And the gadgie works for the count and all.
Well, we better be Off to London sir. If we are going to be there in decent time
No… Hickson wait… I am going to stay here at the inn for a while.
Would you arrange a Room for me?
You’re sure sir? Ah mean. Right, you never kin with this stuff. Never kin with
the ladies
Tell you that for nothing sir
No… she deserved something better… It’s all my doing. Being away and low
breed. All my Doing…
