Valentine has supporting evidence for her claims, while this woman just wants us to takes her at her word that Valentine is some crazy assassin?

Plus if she is a crazy assassin that bumps mean old primrose off, rory gets his money problem solved!

quote:

"I see," she says. "I am not in the habit of asking twice. Very well, then. I shall not support your membership in the Inner Circle unless an apology is forthcoming. I only pray that your recalcitrance does not damage this household irrevocably."

She stands, puts her nose in the air, and walks out of the room, keys jingling.

You suppose, as that matter is taken care of, that it is time to join Rory outside with the others, and so you do.

quote:

All have assembled outside, and the white horses are being brought out and assigned to guests; traditionally, there would be a Master of the hunt, but Aunt Primrose, a very keen hunter since she was a young woman, has taken that responsibility upon herself. As a group of six servants, in hunting outfits, bring a pack of eager hounds out of the kennels, Aunt Primrose talks to each of them, stroking them and inquiring whether or not they are ready to catch a fox.

Col. Firesnuff talks to Mopsie, who is yawning without attempting to hide it, as he tells her about his adventures spelunking in Bechuanaland. Rory is talking to Carlington the butler and a man in a trench coat, with a police badge pinned to it, who listens closely to Rory and scribbles furiously in a small notebook with the word "CLUES" on the front.

The detective looks up as you arrive. "Inspector Ambrose," he says. "Nice to meet you. You must be Butler. No, no, don't ask how I figured it out. Deduction. Science of detecting, you know. I am here in a professional capacity, to find and bring to justice the infamous sneak thief 'Light-Fingered Lou'." He pauses and studies your features for a long time, before nodding slowly and tapping his chin.

"We will now have the customary glass of wine before setting out!" Aunt Primrose says, fairly skipping with excitement. "Everyone join me just over here by the fountain. We shall all drink to the success of our hunt, and enjoy a slice of cake in honor of my birthday!"

The fountain is a patinaed bronze sculpture of Sir Francis Drake holding a spyglass to his eye. The sculpture has been poorly cast, and the left side of Sir Francis's face aligns unevenly with the right side. Sparkling water flows out of the lopsided spyglass and into a basin held by the personifications of Fortitude and Temperance. It often comes up in conversation with you and Rory when either of you wishes to reach for a reference point for something unbelievably ugly or in bad taste.

You take a moment, as always, to marvel at just how ugly that fountain is.

"Are you Butler?" comes a voice slightly behind you. "You must be!"

You turn to see...

...an attractive woman in her twenties with black hair, dyed purple at the ends.

You have never seen anyone who looks like her, ever. Although she wears proper hunting togs, that seems to be her only nod to convention, as witnessed by her several ear piercings.

"I'm Haze," says the woman, stepping closer to you. "I was just chatting with Rory for a bit, and he mentioned that he had a valet named Butler, and here you are!"

"Yes," you say. "Pleased to meet you, Miss..."

"Just Haze is fine," she says. "Do you like hunting?"

"Not particularly."
"I adore it."
"I like your hair."

"Well thank you very much," she says. "It's nice to be appreciated. It's just a passing whim. But it drives my family absolutely wild with rage, and so, of course, I must do it."

"And your earrings...does one ask in polite company whether one is a pirate?"

"Is this polite company?" Haze looks around. "I've heard about polite company. That is good to know. No, I'm not a pirate. Merely for fun. And, again, my family loathes it."

"And annoying your family is the goal, then?"

"A fringe benefit," she says. "But a crucial one. Although, to be quite honest, my appearance is the least of it. They would prefer that I stayed at home under the watchful eye of elderly household retainers, and learn household management until I inherit all sorts of money."

"I wonder if I know your family?"

"Possible but unlikely. I'm Haze Vermillion. My family has a thriving estate in Northumberland where we produce and export scenic, tourist-ready beauty by the wagonload every day."

"Ah, aristocrats. So you are the rebellious scion of a rich family, thrill-seeking, and so forth. I think I saw something like this in the moving pictures."

"Something like that," she says. "It's a glamorous life. Chasing off suitors. Spending wealth."

"I can imagine."

"Since you paid me a compliment, I shall offer you a chocolate. Would you care for a chocolate?" She holds up a small paper bag of chocolates.

"I apologize, but I really must be seeing to Mr. Wintermint now. Good day."
"None for me, thank you."
"I'll just take one."
"Why don't you eat one first?"
