Not too soon at all. Thank you for accommodating me on such short notice. I will meet you there, my dear.
[True to his word, John is ready and waiting at the Beefsteak, whenever Claire makes her arrival. The Horizon is not too unstable there, although it is storming something dreadful. The building itself stands strong against the wind and rain, and once you are inside the fire is quite warm and inviting.
There is a decanter of brandy waiting to be poured for the pair of them, although John is standing ready to receive her at the front door, with a cloth to dry off if necessary. It is only polite, after all.]
SORRY FOR THE SLOWNESS
