[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 2852512, member: 7280"] Steeling himself against the weight of the newcomers and foreigners crowding Miss Juja's office, seething at the eventual accusations and dismissal that painted itself across the faces of all the self-interested, mercenary, tag-alongs who couldn't be bothered with Seawell at all unless there was some sort of benefit for their loathesome selves, Nelson cleared his throat and spoke up.
