Marguerite York - Pas d'employés sans employeurs
Subject: A business deal, a job offer
Where: The Baron's residence in Grosvenor Square, London
Who: Marguerite York
Open to: Amandine, Olivier (if he's interested in following his wife), Mercedes (if he's around), Harry Fisher

Marguerite retreated to the gardens every morning after breakfast, whether it was pouring rain or blistering heat. As far as her husband was concerned, she went out there to read. As far as she was concerned, it was to write her letters in peace and quiet, away from prying eyes. How else could she find the best gossip?

While in London, her habits did not alter by far. Rather than spend her time indoors, she ordered the terrace windows opened wide and the room aired. When that did not help, she moved to the small terrace and tried to put her thoughts in order.

A servant, as usual, interrupted.

"A young woman is asking for you, Madam," he stammered. "She claims you gave her your card at the Ambassador's ball..."

Annoyance gave way to satisfaction. "Show her in."

	"Very valid fears, madam. Fear of the repercussions, fear of guilt, fear of your husband and how he would have me ripped limb from limb if I survived and you did not?" Mercedes shrugs, "Perhaps it is an adventure we may have to delay. France is not safe enough for such games." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marguerite sighs, agreeing despite herself. There's no amusement that could tempt her enough to risk ending up dead for no good reason at all. "We shall contain our adventures to calmer waters, then. The Orient, perhaps. Or the Americas. I hear they've been aptly named the New World." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have never been to the Americas myself. One or two of my crewmen have, on their previous ships but I have only eve been as far as the Caribbean." He smiles, "But the Orient I think you would enjoy. Although perhaps not the voyage around the Cape." He smiles, "No one particularly enjoys that." (Reply to this) (Parent)
