Guy liked the thought of buying a gift for a woman who showed her appreciation for his actions. It was a nice change, even if Jeannie was a little too forward for such a public place. But still, he was glad she was so pleased with his offer.
He listened to Jeannie’s explanation of this electricity. Guy was not a stupid man; regardless of the slanders Hood and his band spread to the contrary. Using the power of lightening to get machinery to work made quite a bit of sense. He would hate to be one of the people that had to try to capture the lightening, but that was what serfs were for.
“I have seen those rectangles in my cabin,” he said, nodding. “I wasn’t what sure they were for, but I did know they were not for defense. The placement is too low and the slots are much too small for arrows.”
Guy didn’t understand what the rectangles had to do with electricity, but there must be something or Jeannie wouldn’t have mentioned them. This did sound like something he should avoid until he understood it better. He knew lightening could be deadly. He really did need someone to help him learn how to function in this City.
“We will purchase your lamp and some candles and matches for my home,” he told his friend. “Then perhaps you could help me find a place that has men and women for hire? I fear I need someone to help me with the cooking and cleaning in my home.”
It wasn’t that Sir Guy’s cabin was so large he couldn’t clean it on his own, he just didn’t want to. Besides, it was beneath a man of his station to wash his own linens.
