George laughed, but it sounded just a bit tired towards the end, like it was just barely masking a sigh.  "You could say that.  Back from the States, but these past few years I've been all over.  Much as I miss home sometimes, I think I've warmed up to the Isles.  Has an Old World feel to it, like anything could happen.  Bah, but I'm blatherin'!"<br/><br/>He took her hand as naturally as could be, as though he'd practiced for the moment all his life, and pressed his lips to it before breaking into a wide grin.  "George.  George Williams.  A pleasure to meet you, Gwen."
