Private
I expect that you have seen all manner of strange and uncivilised things on your travels. I tried to think of it like that at first, and tell myself they simply didn't know any better, but they weren't exactly educable on the matter, either.
I am almost fifteen, sir, and among my people a man comes to his full majority at seventeen. I would understand sermonising from my elders on the perils of gambling, such as they may be, but not fuss over small beer! It was peculiar. They wouldn't have let a man of twenty drink, either.
Splendid. You're a decent fellow. I'm partial to tarocchini, although if you haven't the cards for that we could play whist, or twenty-one. Whatever you'd like.
