Re: Back-dated Storyline: Meeting of Léon and Nell
Nell smiled graciously, glancing quickly to Harry before he continued. "The pleasure is all mine. We're not used to having man of your standing here very often." That was true enough. Oh, they came to see the shows but usually sent instructions for Harry to bring him or one of the other boy's round later. They seemed to prefer to take their pleasure in their own homes, it was usually only sailors and the like lodging within the ale-houses or those who couldn't afford the price of a visit who saw him backstage.
Perhaps the gossip about the Ambassador was right then and he had come from the streets, although Nell didn't suspect as much. He seemed unsure about how to go about their little meeting. Odd for a man his age but they probably did things differently in France. After all, they where cutting off people's heads.
