The Conspiracy

Enjoining the evening?

Count Tenheim. I Presume?

At your service my lord...?

You may call me Scoria. I've been watching

you dance with young baroness Prudence, such

a...lovely creature

Yes, unfortunately her loveliness is owned

by someone rude enough not to even appear

with her. Even in such pleasant masquerades as tonight.

Well some do not simply have the proper out

bringing to attend this kind of pleasures

Apparently so, lord Scoria. it may be the

spanish way to raise sails and let the beauty

wither ashore.

Look at her amongst all this joy, mourning

and sighing. Wouldn't you like to set those sad

longing eyes aflame again? To have her and afterwards

kiss that swanlike neck goodnight?

I...I Beg your pardon, my lord

Do not insult me with petty morality, dear

count. I know exactly how desperately you thirst

after her. With how much anguish you envy that

halfbreed Antracon for owning her loyalty.

If only I could open her eyes from that

blindness.

I think we have a way to remedy that.

Dear sir. are you suggesting that I would

do the dirty deed of yours... of god only

knows what intentions?

My intentions. Are merely of setting her free

of that endless longing. I'm not asking you

to do anything, but to follow your own desires. Few

words from a loyal servant of your's will do.

Few words. From my servant?

Just a word placed in the ear of Antracon's

crew. He's ship, "Providence", is due to

Southampton within few weeks. When it arrives we can

perhaps put one of your servants on the

payroll all we need is few words, like count Tenheim

has...

[Lawes:]...Slept with young baroness Prudence.

Aye! You watch your mouth gadgie. I can't

believe it out off her

That's the bleeding bloody honest truth. By

god. Mind you. She is the bleeding fiance of the

owner of this ship and all. Didn't stop the mockers or

banging her sheets with sir tenheim now did

it? No no...

Bloody hell...young sir Antracon ain't gonna

be at all happy when he'll hear about it...

[Antracon:]...I just can not believe it

Well that's what I heard. And the gadgie

works for the count and all. Well, we better be

off to London sir. If we are going to be there in

decent time.

No...Hickson wait...I am going to stay here

at the inn for a while. Would you arrange a

room for me?

You're sure sir? Ah mean. Right, you never

kin with this stuff. Never kin with the ladies,

tell you that for nothing sir.

No...she deserved something better... It's

all my doing. Being away and low breed. All my

doing...
