"Why on earth would they be necessary?" and my surprise is quite genuine. Between my own acquiescence to accompanying her and the frankly unpleasant prospect of running around unlit streets on a clouded night when all my worldly goods are at a fixed address and I am hardly likely to strike out for Dry Run in the clothes on my back like a common vagabond...
Well, I suppose she is used to dealing with a lower class of people. One needn't return home to prepare for running away if one's home is a hovel and one is comfortable with stealing supplies. Not that I am seeing any particular need to plan on leaving in so abrupt a fashion, and as I am occupying myself with these thoughts I find we have arrived at her office. It is a rather short distance, after all.
"I confess," I say, once we are indoors, "that I am not particularly experienced in providing descriptions; should I outline my impressions, or would you prefer to start with questions?"
