"Hey, you boy, yes you"!
"What, me Sir? What can I do for your lordship"?
"Lordship eh, chuckle, not quite yet lad but I admire your forward thinking! Want to earn yourself 5 livres"?
" Wow, 5 livres....are you being serious....that's more than me dad earns sweeping the streets in a week Sir"!!
"Perfectly serious boy, all you need do is go and find out which ladies are currently without a gentleman friend, I want to know the names of all of them and a bit of background information too. PLUS....don't bother with any skint ones the last woman I had - and I use the term 'had' not in it's literal sense, that would have been a fine thing.... - was poorer than a church mouse".
"Cor, bless yer Sir, I'll get on to it right away".
A short while (a very short while) later......
"Your lordship, your lordship, I'm back and I found it out for you"!
"Bless me that was quick young nipper, me lad! I hope you did a thorough job?! What news have you for me, grace my ears with the names of the lovely ladies out there who are just waiting for theirphysician dressed in black knight in shining armour to whisk them off their feet? Phwoooarrr.....hit me with the names of those fine fillies boy"
"Errr, well, there's just the one really Sir....excluding that poor one you told me to avoid...yes, just the solitary single lady".
"WHAT, just one them!! For heavens sake, what sort of choice is that?! God dammit, ok lad well who is this woman, is she a beauty? Tell me her name"?
"It's a Mademoiselle Malina, Sir, Malina Rigal".
"Malina.....what a sweet name....how graceful...how...how...simply charming, tell me about her lad, do voices give whisper to something of her character? Perhaps you heard tell of 'Raunchy Rigal' or Malina the Man-eater'? Oh yes, I can see her now, a fine, buxom wench, one with that sly twinkle in her eye, a lady who moves with grace but also with a certain...phwooaaarrr...I don't think you'd understand yet boy"!
"I'm not sure about any of that Sir, but I did manage to get a sneak look through her window and"
"Through her window you say, you cheeky young scamp, tell me was it by any chance the window of her....her.... boudoir"?
"Actually Sir, it was".
"Coorrrr.....phew....pant...sweat.....well done lad, let's be making that 10 livres for your troubles if you can tell Docteur De'Ath here just what you saw and spare no details boy, tis nothing that will shock me, what with me being a medical man. Phwoooarrr, I'd best just sit down a moment.......right lad...continue, what did you see"?!
"10 livres....hurrah, hurrah I'm rich and mother will be overjoyed".
"Look, shut up about your mother lad, tell me about my sweet Malina and hurry up about it".
"Ok, Sir....well as I was saying I copped a look through her boudoir window and there she was and I got to see exactly what she was doing, I saw it plain as day as she went over to a little cabinet next to her bed and then bent over"
"Christ, bent over you say, what right over"?
"Yes, Sir and then that's when I saw her open it up".
"WHAT....splutter...cough....you saw her open it up, right there, just like that"?
"Oh yes, Sir, I saw her hand as plain as day she just reached right in and there it was......Sir, docteur Sir, are you ok? You've gone very red faced and sweaty".
"C..c..carry on boy...I'm all ears, believe me"!
"As I was saying, she reached straight in and took it out, I have to say it was a splendid looking one, best I've ever seen and I've helped out at the convent before with father when we sweep up there".
"15 livres boy, 15 livres and worth every single one, now tell the docteur a bit more about it, what colour for instance"?
"Double hurrah....oh joy....god bless you Sir.....the colour was black Sir, jet black, and it looked like there was a tassel or something hanging out of it and, oh, there was a white cross on the front of it".
"White cross, tassel....what are you blithering about boy"?
"Her bible of course Sir, that's what she reached into the cabinet and took out. Then she sat down by the bed and began to read her scriptures, ooohh for a good half an hour or so I'd say. Afterwards I heard her say something about how she must ensure she learnt a bit more before Friday as she was going to meet a friend, someone called Agnes I think, as they were going to spend the evening reciting psalms, in latin".
"ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
