[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6695708, member: 20323"] The walk up the hill in the midday Nassau sun in weltering, causing you to sweat profusely. It's little wonder so many of the scallywags and privateers, not to mention the common citizens, wear lightweight cotton and linen. The white-washed walls of the Colonial Hotel reveal their slight pink hue and faint cracks in the stucco. Outside, a lean black man beats a rug while several laughing English women gather flowers that cluster around the hotel's perimeter. Badouin, the thick-browed brown-skinned agent of du Tourbillon's, finds you at the wide shaded arch entry into the Hotel's courtyard. He smiles broadly, extinguishing a small cigarette under heel.
