Lady Gwendolyn laughed. "Since you asked so prettily! Lady Gwendolyn Linley, sir, daughter of the Earl of Rosse." She curtsied. "It is a very great pleasure, I assure you, to talk of India again. It is not the same to ride a horse as it is to ride an elephant."

She had liked riding elephants.

"I am very glad we are well rid of camels, however. Horrid creatures, and so foul smelling!"

	"My pleasure to meet a fellow traveller and lover of things Indian Lady Gwendolyn." Rupert laughed and shook his head. "No indeed, I do not think there is anything so different as to riding and elephant. And to be honest, I was not very fond of the camels. I sadly fell off, more than once, I must tell you."

	"A camel once took a bite out of my favorite purple satin," Lady Gwendolyn said, with a sigh. "Let a horrible spit-stain. I had to give the dress to my maid. Still, there are consolations. We may not have elephants, but there are some very nice horses to be had, if one looks in the right avenues. Are you fond of riding yourself?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Travesty," Rupert said grinning. "I definitely would prefer the elephants. Even if one didn't nearly stampede through the market one spring," he added with a smile. "Luckily Lady Gwendolyn, we do have those right avenues. And as it happens I am fond of riding, though my duties at present to not give me cause for more time to do it."

	Lady Gwendolyn cringed. "Ooh, stampeding elephants. I hope no one was very seriously hurt, and no fabrics were seriously injured." Quips aside, Mr. Aveline liked riding. "Oh, I am sorry to hear it. Perhaps when you do have more time, you might join me in a ride through Hyde Park?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No indeed. Luckily for everyone, and all the tapestries, it was a little elephant." Rupert grinned and nodded at her. "I hope my scheduled lightens up somewhat yes, and I would be happy to accompany you around Hyde Park. You can always send word to me at the Head Office. I will work my schedule around if need be."

	"I think I might have enough influence to manage it," Lady Gwendolyn said, with a smile. "It would be my very great pleasure, Mr. Aveline! I hope to see you soon, then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rupert smiled back at her. "I don't doubt it at all." He took her hand as they made to depart and kissed it gently. "It would equally be my pleasure as well my Lady, and I hope to see you soon as well." (Reply to this) (Parent)
