They were there for about an hour and I decided that nothing was going to happen and went out for a beer nearby. I went back after half and hour to se... them sitting in one of the rows in the middle. She had taken off her coat and was wearing a black woollen dress down to her knees. The seats were fully occupied beside them as well as in front and behind. Still nothing was happening. I was getting a bit frustrated from the hope that something would happen. Then I saw the man next to her move. And so it was (after a hastily executed mobile phone call to Lady Marjorie in Sussex) that the unlikely couple - a knight of the realm, with a lady of the night on hs arm, tottered out of the station buffet and headed for a Victorian mansion block two streets behind the terminus.Marianne was as good as her word. Not only was she an excellent hostess, conjuring up a delicious cold salmon salad and an impressive bottle of vintage French Chablis in no time at all, but she soon had the elderly. I said, “James Battleford Lightfoot. What’s Battle’s schtick?”Matt smiled and the sun shone, “Let’s see. He moves around a lot. Smart in his line of work. Which is women. Widows and divorcées specifically. For his front ... last I knew in DC he was a senior civilian consultant to the Inner Ring at the Pentagon.”He frowned, then smiled again, “No, wait. He’d moved on to the investigative side for the House Armed Services Committee. Added another couple of medals.”“Then he transferred to the Navy. "You know that we can't do that, you are already higher than anyone but the elder anymore and then there'd be no one to take you if you go bad." Another of the young members said."I have been an enforcer for the council for over 200 years, before that I was a bounty hunter. One would think that by now I have proved my loyalty to the council and the magic community!" I shouted to emphasize my point. Pissed more at the council than I'd been in quite some time, I flashed out to the nearest junk.
