Somewhere between the initial greetings and the instructions about the food, Pool Had heard the doctor reply to his greeting, and comment how splendid it was to be home again. Absolutely sir, and may I say that it is most positively intriguing and wonderful to have you and yours safely home once more.


God loves you.

Henry studied the face of the cab driver for the few seconds he was allowed the luxury. He did not know most of them, and never felt put off by such, but from time to time, some of them would spark his curiosity.

Learning their faces, only when they were worthy, when something about them seemed oddly unusual, made him feel more alert somehow, better prepared for what was to come.

At times he suspected that what was to come was the Royal Agency interfering?with his plans by substituting their people for regular ones. Last time, the bloke presented him with a strange sounding name, Belvis, without being asked, and acted too nice. Yes, people could be nice when they were not smart, cab drivers on the other hand were not known for unlikely such sensibilities

At least?most times, including this occasion, that was?not a consideration. Even so, he did not wish too loosen his grip on awareness and be caught unprepared, that was the one thing he could not afford.

Stepping off?and paying attention to his surroundings, without being obvious about it, Henry was going to agree with Leticia that indeed, seeing in the dark spared one some pain of stumbling into obstacles, but Rena's question presented him with a more intriguing proposition, forcing him to wickedly answer affirmatively. Hunger was the one necessary?stimulus to get?a refined being like himself,?going, after all.?

"Hello Poole, how splendid to be home again," Henry happily greeted, and in this instance he finally spoke the truth. Being home, surrounded by proper companions at least, was positively charming.

Not wishing to cause scandal by being seen out at another pub, at least without a disguise, Henry, Rena and Leti took a cab home.? Rena was still unaccustom to the horses, feeling that things passed by the darkened window so slowly as she stared out into the darkness.

"It must be nice to see in the dark," Leti half whispered when they stepped from the cab at Henry's.

She scrambled down unassisted while Henry swung Rena down by her waist.

"Are you hungry," Rena asked Henry with a wide smile as they headed inside."It's late," Leti protested and Rena only shrugged.
