They are about three-quarters of the way back to the waiting line of parked carriages when a man comes up beside Callum and says softly in French, but loud enough for both to hear: "Mr. Stuart, my employers would like to speak to you and the young lady. Please do not do anything other than...

"Very good, that's the spirit. And I hope that you enjoy Spanish food. And by that I don't mean the food from Central America and South America that has been influenced by Spain, I mean the food served in the finest restaurants in Barcelona and Madrid."

He replies, "I know of a place that might fit the bill for that. It's in the neighborhood where we dropped Maracita off. How is your Spanish? The do speak fluent French there, but Spanish is the preferred language of the establishment."

Dinner it is then. They are among the first to depart the elaborate building and start to make their way down the long driveway to the rows of waiting carriages. Callum asks, "So, what do you fell like this evening? We're dressed for anywhere in the city, fancy or otherwise."

"Well, I am very glad that we came here. The performance was excellent. But there is no reason for us to stay around. That photograph in the papers will be sufficient for my task. Do you want to go somewhere for a bite to eat or would you rather just head back to the castle?"

With a smile he says, "I will have to give that one some thought." "It was indeed." Callum gestures across the room to the crowds who have now gathered around his friend. "My friend the Prince, correction, Grand Duke, seems to have admirers. Actually, I think the Russian's have something...

She replies, "The we should start with my friend Habib, he makes various teas and other beverages."

He replies, "Then I should point you out to my friend Charles, as he was wearing one today. Although he might be a little old for you." The cast of the performances come out for the curtain call. They are brought out in the order of the performances and are introduced by name as well as their...

So many kilt jokes, so little time.

"Given everything else in your life as of late, that would be tame by comparison. So, on the subject of romance, do you have anybody particular in mind?"

Callum says, "I can tell, let's take a look at your current romance shall we? Magically impersonating French actresses, magically flying alone across a desert, swimming towards danger after having your boat magically overturned, escaping from the King's prison, riding horses into palaces under...

He replies "Mr. Eastman, we need to continue to work on your first proposal. The second could also be pursued, but would not be ideal. The third would be deemed unacceptable by both myself and my Queen. If we are to use the canal it would make sense for there to be a base in Egypt. Ships...

General Wolseley replies, "Well, I think that we have the beginnings of an agreement here sir. However, despite verbal or written assurances, the British banks would be unwilling to have us completely walk away from their interests. And I for one, would want to see clear evidence that Egypt...

Woolsley remains absolutely silent after this exchange, clearly having no intention or desire to revisit this particular topic.

Tempting me with two! I may just do that. Definitely leaning towards Callum, as this Paris interlude has really fleshed out his character and I like how he plays off of Abby. Plus he now needs a job. While I had originally envisioned James Parker as my playing character, he could just as...

The final act begins with his 1863 single act operetta "Il signor Fagotto". It is a story of story of a father outwitted and true love winning, and contains a variety of musical styles. It has six singer/actors consisting of three sopranos, one tenor and two baritones. The characters in the...

"I will take you to the finest clothier in town," she replies. Feel free to elaborate on the descriptions of the shop and clothing in your posts. Only one of us has the degree in fashion design, and it's not me.

"Knee deep snow is something you only have to experience once. After the first minute it gets old."

"Mary Stuart felt the same way, which is why she also had the estate on the sea to the south." Patrons have now all returned to their seats as the orchestra takes their places on the stage and the house lights dim for the final act.

Yes, and it only reminds me more how behind I am on some of my Story Hours. I am glad that I made tape recordings of those. My last posting was four years ago, and only half-way through Game Five which you and Lori both played in, when the team robbed the Three Gods Meeting House in Tucson...
