That's very kind of you. I'm particularly fond of the shade of blue you've decorated my steed with. It should be similar in hue to the bruises I'll have on my arse from bouncing up and down on that ass. Or is it a donkey?
And thank God You found a use for all that crap you fished out of Seth's tea caddy. It's far better used decorating ass-hats than polluting tea.
Might I suggest we get a list of who is who. I am getting confused and using the wrong names when I address people. Sorry for the digression.
Personally I prefer to be known as simply "The Interrogator".
It would seem that my agents are pursuing my request to find those who would do evil against our Queen and her Empire. I think that May should pay closer attention to her mistress' needs rather than to try to entice some trollops into her play. I think she may need to be sent to The Inquisitor or one of his assistants for understanding where her primary responsibilities lay.
Perchance is this why I keep seeing these blue boxes label "Police"? I have occasion to meet a man who calls himself simply Doctor. Perhaps he is someone we should be looking for.
He is, like myself, a traveller upon the timestreams. A soldier of fortune manipulating destinies and tweaking nipp.......... I mean tweaking time in pursuit of our own ends.
They do over-indulge Kiera. Not only alcohol, but all forms of debauchery and perversion....they're Catholic, from the Planet Cathol in the belt of Orion.
Edit : He is quick, isn't he?
The Marquis is quick too...slipping 'twixt us like a bolt of lightning.
LOL. I see you kept the cutting from the front page of "The Rochester Rambler" then?
Is the Blue Box a kind of tavern? All I see are numerous bottles of what I presume to be a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. Far more than we know of her. Me thinks, I should stay clear of these strange structures.
The Court of Elizabeth Queen of England
is pleased to announce the betrothal of Lady Kiera Mistress of the Tower to Philip Sidney a courtier, poet, and soldier he is the eldest son of Sir Henry Sidney and Lady Mary Dudley - sister of Sir Robert Dudley. Sir Henry Sidney a prominent courtier and politician during the reigns of King Henry VIII and King Edward VI, which paved the way for his son's own success at court.
As the two riders trot slowly along the sodden and rutted path to Rochester the Lady Arabella slips a black-gloved hand into her muddied travelling cloak and withdraws a small, folded square of parchment. Leaning in the saddle, she holds it out to her companion.
"'Tis best that you are cognisant of all the facts, I suppose, as we are bidden companions by my Lord Walsingham. here is a fragment of a letter from Doctor Dee to someone he addresses as "Winnie". See what you make of it, girl"
".....so I believe them to be connected with these strange occurrences. King Philip may have thought he delivered the Templars a death blow, but they merely retreated further underground, literally.
My search for the stone proceeds slowly. Of late I have been troubled by ill humours and my piles are playing me up something terrible.
Tell Mam I enjoyed the rock cakes she sent last time, but possibly a bit too much gravel in them. Also, has Dad managed to remove Myfanwy from the privy yet? It still seems odd that my parents are younger than me and living after I died. Time's a queer bugger, innit?
Well, I better get on. Her Majesty has summoned me to Romeville. It seems Walsingham believes he has discovered something of significance in Holborn and our Sovereign Lady wishes me to offer him any assistance I may. Just what I need, a bloody long ride from Caernarfon to London with the grapes of wrath trapped between my arse and a hard saddle. The bloody weather's lousy too. been pissing down for a week straight now.
If I get the chance I'll look in on Arabella and check how the modifications to her body armour are affecting the power source, I fear the added strain may be too much of a power drain.
I better get packed then, I suppose.
Good luck with your efforts against that German fella, what was his name...Hilter? I've no doubt you'll prevail. He sounds a right arsehole from what you've told me.
Anyway, my dear Winnie, must dash. The Queen doesn't like to be kept waiting.
All the best love
(and cut down on the tobacco)

I have found out that there are some among us who have unusual histories. They are mature in age, yet I can't find out anything about them older than but a few years. No one can place them at any function more then five years ago. It is as if they suddenly appeared out of no where five years ago. We must learn more about these people. One of them goes by the name Winnie. She entertains a lot but has no obvious source of funds yet seems to have them in abundance. My spies tell me that she has visitors more often late at night rather than in the bright light of day. In fact they say that no one can recall seeing her out and about during the day. Her lodgings are closed up tight during the day. She has but one servant, hiring transient help when she has one of her elaborate parties. We need to secure an invitation to one of her soirees to see what is happening within her "cottage". So Lady Arabella will you and May undertake this "invasion" of Winnie's premises? I know not what may lie within.
We shall make it a priority, my Lord. At the next coaching house we pass I shall send a rider with a message summoning Oozing Meg to meet with us at the edge of the Wildwood, I think perhaps her "special training" may serve us in good stead 'pon this mission.
I shall keep you informed via the speaking box Doctor Dee had installed in your office recently.
