"Very well, I know just the place. Not too fancy, but the food is really first class." Soon you find youself entering a narrow stair down to the underground part of the canal system. Hanford hails a boat for hire and you move east through tunnels and open areas until you hear music playing and the sounds of a crowd. The boat finds a narrow slip in an area crowded with small boats. Several taverns and restaurants are here. Near the back of the district you enter a little place called, 'The Silver Fin'. The places is deocorated with a nuatical theme as might be expected. It doesn't look particularly impressive, but it is filled with patrons. Hanford signals to a tall woman in a blue dress who seems to be the hostess and she motions you past the crowd waiting for a table. After an exchange of kisses on the cheek with your host she says, "Ah Mr. Hanford please come with me. I've a spot for you." She leads you to a small table just being cleared by a young man. "A pair of 'Hungry Sailors' if you please Mauve." She nods and heads for the kitchen. "Wine or beer?" asks Hanford. Soon steaming bowls of a very tasty seafood bisque are placed before you. The bowls are simple crockery, but the soup proves to be some of the freshest and richest you've tasted.
