Re: Marianne's Lucky Day
Jason smiled at Mariannes enthusiam. She was certainly expressing much of the excitement that he himself felt. In fact, he was quiet taken with her natural charmingness. After a few simple pleasantaries and at Basil's lead, he said, "I'm truly looking forward to this trip with you Miss Trevors." The sentiment was very genuine.
Once out on the street, Basil moved along at a reasonably fast clip. "Bugger," he muttered to Jason, well out of earshot of Marianne, "Bugger...but might not be so bad. Not a bad looker, wot ?"
Jason gave Basil a quiet look, he agreed, "She is easy on the eye, and pleasant on the mind and soul.". Her Jason pasued for a moment and nodded, he went on quietly, "I agree, having her along will be very beneficial."
Basil cntinued, "Well, no matter, I've the money. Get your gear and call on me at the Compass Rose Club, off the Strand, in the morning. My card," He flourished one to Jason, producing it with the flair of a magician. "I shall go round the docks and acquire passage. Oh, and pick up some firearms, if you can, with plenty of ammunition."
Jason took the card and checked the details and gave a nod of aquiessence. Though his eyebrow arched at the mention of firearms. He said cautiously, "What type of weaponry do you suggest and prefer?.... And, erm... that might need a little more cash than I'm carrying just now.... such items and vendors don't usually accept checks... but, I'll do what I can." Asking for the cash by implication, Jason grinned with his youthful expression. "Consider it done anyhow."
