*our national thief

There are circumstances in life in which we prefer words to deeds. An arrest on foreign soil being one of them.

Standard protocol - at least for Lupin - is to try and escape the plasticuffs (easy to overcome with the correct application of will.)

Instead, a buckle of laughter loosens and expands inside their chest as the tourist is led down the gleaming corridor, quickly proceeded with an error-free rendition of La Marseillaise.

Coming in from an afternoon appointment to find a gift waiting in her atelier was a rather splendid end to a wonderful day. Pulling at the ribbon with deft fingers, The Woman lifted out the exquisitely unusual disciplinary tool, turning it over in her hands with a thoughtful hum before she opened the card. Taking note, she pondered what the paddle had to do with the proposition. As she was under no clear instruction to bring it, the toy seemed to be little more than a gift to sweeten her temperament and lead to a positive answer. Sitting at her desk, she penned the reply in her elegant calligraphy, handing it to her manservant to deliver. Mssr. Lupin; How can I refuse such a beautiful gift? Do let me know the time and how much (or little) I should be wearing. I understand you are aware of my fee. The pleasure, I fear, will be entirely my own. Yours, Irene Adler

The message reached Felix Pascoe by text from a girl on a street corner, holding a stolen letter. He was a young man of smart appearance, still steaming from a recent shower.

And he would reply to her in person. Icons are better bibles for the more observant. And better bibles.

He rang her bell at Nine in a white tie and black gloves, which was more than he'd worn when she was flogging him this morning.

“I think it depends on the situation and circumstance,” she spoke, pausing from sipping her wine to reply to him. The party had been going so well, and she was delighted to be seated quite far away from her husband, and revelled in it more by the way her view of him was blocked by a silver sculpture of his ancestor. Consuelo found the Viscount’s conversation stimulating, much more than she could say for the other gentlemen seated in the table, who deemed it unnecessary for women to engage in such talks. “I agree; we make truths complicated because of our inability to comprehend it.”

He is young and old and stylish and dismounts his bicycle with the jaunt of a man who has not just cycled the expanse of two acres. Raol d’Andesy is a duke by his own account, and by the Echo de France’s attestations, a most agreeable eccentric.

Every moment in their company is a moment of a plan unravelling. Dispersed plasma, stars, fisticuffs, the dark era, stretching onto infinity. Every moment here is a moment the universe, the universe of probability, expands.

Deep time.
