She laughs and says, "Helping our guests IS my work. Let's go find whatever it is that you are looking for." The woman removes a large leather pouch from her desk, which from the sound contains coins, and fastens it to her belt and inside a front pocket of her tunic-style beige dress with...

He says, "That would be wonderful, although winter is by far not the best time of year to visit Russia. Napoleon Bonaparte discovered that. Perhaps next summer."

The Sultan brings her to a room where a young dark-haired woman is working on record books. He introduces her a Ela, his head of guest services, and also a cousin. Ruby is a little surprised by the woman's youth for somebody with such responsibilities at a grand hotel, appearing perhaps even...

He approached me immediately after it happened, astutely deducing that his bringing attention to what I had done would cause great embarrassment to my family given the attitude towards wizard magic in the British Isles. Vlad and I have been good friends since then, and often timed our visits to...

Hell no. After a short rest have her get up and go do something. Jon and I should be finished up soon with the Queen and you'll get her, but in the meanwhile I'm sure that Ruby can find some trouble to get into in an Arabian city.

"On June 6, 1867, an assassination attempt against the Czar. It was in all the papers. The start of the 1867 World's Fair in Paris was marred by a Polish nobleman named Antoni Berezovsky's pointing a double barreled pistol at open carriage that the Czar, his son, and the French Emperor were...

He casually says, "I saved the life of his father, Czar Alexander II. Possibly Vladimir's life as well as they were together. They were with the French Emperor Napoleon III, so he also might have been killed. I was ten years old at the time."

"Who? You mean the Grand Duke Vladimir? Probably because his brother Alexander is the Czar of Russia."

So here we are at the end of January. I know that I've said this before but I really do plan to complete this module within the next month (unless an all out war between Britain and Egypt breaks out due to negotiations breaking down). At this point the only major thing left is George's...

He smiles and says, "Who is to say which meaning I had?"

He replies, "Not that late. This performance may have started at what would be considered the regular theater time in New York or London, however in Paris shows and concerts normally begin a few hours later. This was earlier due to the planned length, which is most-likely what suppressed the...

When George makes the 'challenge' and 'slur' comments the poker-face that Wolseley had worn until this point shatters. As soon as George pauses next he interjects, "Sir, I would never show disrespect to a fine monarch as Queen Neferka. That was clearly not my intent, and if I said anything in...

He says, "Offenbach was well loved here in Paris. For his memorial concerts the entire hall was filled every night. While this tribute is less well attended, the people here are here for the right reasons. I am glad that we were in town when this took place, an unexpected surprise. And the...

"Yes to both," is his reply. The second portion of the show begins with a female vocalist singing the 1852 song "Les Voix Mysterieuses". This is followed by a 1954 piano dance piece titled "Decameron Dramatique", which originally comprised ten separate pieces of which three are played. Next...

The lights flicker, indicating that the intermission is coming to a close. Callum has been talking to people seated near them, who had not been inclined to talk to him prior to the Russian's visit but now seem interested in him.

From a short distance away she watches as the bear of the man approaches and loudly exclaims in French with a distinctly Russian accent "Cal! Wonderful to see you!" He then grabs Callum in a huge bear hug. The photographers instruct both men to "Hold that pose" as they set up their cameras and...

He replies, "What I want is irrelevant. I appear to have been spotted by that one "exception" I cited earlier and he is heading this way. Photographers appear to be following him, so if you don't want to be in tomorrow's newspapers you may want to move away from me." Abby looks across the...

A very exquisitely dressed Frenchman comes out on stage and the house lights dim. He gives a short biography of Offenbach, with a little more detail that Callum had explained earlier. He says that the works will be played in chronological order. The first piece is a Cello composition written...

He replies, "Personally, no, with one exception. But I do recognize many of them. You are currently in the company of two dukes, one count, one marquis, three viscounts, three barons, and nearly a dozen castellans. Among the non-nobles are dozens of wealthy businessmen of Paris and even...

He says, "I doubt that the Empress goes shopping in those stores. The clothiers come to her."
