Gariland takes the dowel with his non-toga-holding hand, though his short bow is still to the clerk.<br/><br/>"I can assure you with all conviction and certainty, good sir, that our devices are unparalleled in their majesty, complexity, efficiency, and purpose of machination."<br/><br/>Since the clerk has already dismissed them, he turns and heads out to redeem the token in his hand before there are no vacant inns left.  It should not be too hard, he imagines, to find an audience for a few short orations and so earn the terces to pay for some trousers and a bite to eat.
