"Ah well, mademoiselle, I wish you the best of luck and promise to keep you in mind should any opportunities arise where I think you might... hmmm... find a good fit.  I admit were my own situation a little more stable, I would offer you a greater hand out.  But I myself am just now attempting to deal with the upheaval of moving from one home to another, selling the first, and continuing to make time for all the little obligations that seem to fill every second of my day.  Give me your name and where you may be reached, and I give you my word that I shall see if I can't do anything for you soon."<br/><br/>He bowed, kissing the back of her hand, "But please, you must excuse me, I have a meeting with the owner."<br/><br/>As soon as he was able he disentangled from the disenfranchised woman and made his way over to the owner.  Bowing low from the waist he introduced himself.  "Sire,  I am Master Tehr ir'Wynt, I received a letter from you while I was out of Londinium.  I thank you for the gracious invitation and am eager to make your acquaintance."  Then with a turn he smiled broadly and bowed to the duke, adding, "Duke, so good to see you again."
