New page

* Rachel_ is in her study... there aren't a lot of rooms in this house, really. ^-^
* Rachel_ sometimes wishes she had a music room and stuff but the parlour has to do.
* Analisa will be announced/admitted by the guards
* Rachel_ is sitting by the fireplace, thinking.
* Rachel_ can't concentrate on number-crunching at the moment.
<Analisa> Your Ladyship?
* Rachel_ looks up and smiles tiredly.
* Analisa has a huge book in her arms
<Rachel_> Good afternoon, Analis. Come in.
<Analisa> I found something for you!
* Analisa smiles widely
* Rachel_ gestures to another chair by the fireplace.
<Analisa> Of course, your ladyship
* Analisa does a surprisingly graceful curtsy consider her armload of tome
<Rachel_> (there's a coffee table you can out it down on)
* Analisa will out it down
* Rachel_ smiles.
<Rachel_> You know you don't have to curtsey...
<Analisa> If you say so, your ladyship :)
* Rachel_ shakes her head.
<Rachel_> It's a futile effort on my part, isn't it.
<Rachel_> :^/
<Rachel_> Very well, what did you find?
<Analisa> well, your ladyship, I just find that it is easiest to stick to the formal manners rather than worry all the time about who you can and can't relax around
<Analisa> It doesn't bother me to be polite
<Rachel_> Fair enough...
* Analisa smiles
<Analisa> As to what I've found...
<Analisa> This is Arislan's Supernatural Compendium, volume three, Unrestful Spirits.
<Rachel_> Sounds absolutely fascinating.
<Analisa> well, it may be a bit dry, but it certainly does seem to be complete
* Rachel_ smiles and leans forward to get a better look at the book.
<Analisa> I've marked a few sections
* Analisa seems proud of her work
* Rachel_ nods and opens the book to the first marker.
* Rachel_ scans the page.
<Analisa> (This is a section on theory of what ghosts are... differences between ghosts, wraits and specters)
<Rachel_> (ok)
* Rachel_ nods thoughtfully.
<Analisa> There is an index in the back, it is a bit difficult to navigate at first, but I'm sure your ladyship is more than capable of grasping it
* Rachel_ thumbs to the other markers to get the gist fo what those sections about.
<Analisa> (Section on what the shadowlands are)
<Rachel_> I should hope so... I'd be a really sorry state if I couldn't use an index after growing up with books as my best friends.
<Analisa> (A section on specific encounters between ghosts and Sluagh... basically how the sluagh can see with ghosts and why)
* Rachel_ smiles nostalgically.
<Analisa> (There is a section on theory about how the shadolands and the dreaming intersect)
<Analisa> (And about ghosts and freeholds, and ghosts in freeholds)
* Rachel_ is especially interested in that section. ^-^
* Rachel_ doesn't allow herself to become engrossed in the book, however.
* Rachel_ looks up at Analisa.
<Rachel_> This is very good work. Thank you.
<Rachel_> You've saved me a lot of time...
<Analisa> YOur welcome your ladyship..
<Analisa> I actually found it in a dusty corner of our library...
*** Curtana has joined #changeling
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Curtana
<Rachel_> I noticed there is a lack of any decent sort of locator system in the library.
<Longpig> yo
<Rachel_> (time to stop? :^D)
<Analisa> BUt I think it was borrowed from the Library of the Countess of Primrose Arbour some years ago, before the count died.
<Curtana> arr
<Curtana> ()
<Analisa> (We still have time, technically ;)
<Curtana> (yes, you do, if you want to keep going :)
* Analisa nods
<BalthCat> (ooc!)
* Rachel_ nods.
<Curtana> (as long as I can ask Heather a couple of questions ;)
<Rachel_> I suppose I ought to give it back eventually.
<Analisa> Yes, Your Ladyship, we had noticed that but with our other duties, Melanie haven't had as much time as we'd like to spend on reorganization of the shelving system
<Rachel_> Oh, I know, Analisa. I didn't mean you ought to do it.
<Analisa> (There is in fact a note in the fromnt saying that it belongs to the County's library)
<Rachel_> You and Melanie do quite enough as it is!
<Rachel_> The library can wait until I can afford to hire on some extra help or have some free time of my own.
<Analisa> Yes, your ladyship
<Rachel_> Actually... maybe I'll set aside an hour or so each evening to go through it myself.
<Rachel_> It will give me something to look forward to at the end of each day.
* Rachel_ brushes a lock of hair behind an ear.
<Analisa> I think you deserve to have your days brightened, your ladyship
<Analisa> you've been working very hard for all of us
<Longpig> (she's hitting on you!)
<Rachel_> (ah!)
* Rachel_ smiles.
<Rachel_> Flattery is not necessary, Analisa. Everyone here works hard.
<Rachel_> I'm very lucky to have such a good staff.
<Analisa> well, then it isn't flattery to speak the truth, now is it your ladyship?
<Analisa> Just because we all put in our time doesn't diminish the contributions that we all make
<Rachel_> I've almost finished working out a budget that I think might work... I'll be so glad to get that over with.
<Longpig> (I wanna see you rag out Trolius, btw :D)
* Rachel_ closes the tome gently.
<Analisa> that's excellent news, your ladyship!
<Rachel_> ...
<Analisa> on that front, your ladyship, might I make a suggestion?
<Rachel_> Certainly.
<Analisa> I'm certain it is probably something you have already considered yourself, however...
* Rachel_ sits back in her chair.
<Analisa> Well, we both know that the old baron *invested* a lot of the resources of his Barony into the buying of fine wines...
<Analisa> And may of those vintages are still left in our cellar
<Rachel_> And perhaps we ought to *sell* some?
<Analisa> welll, yes.
<Analisa> I did say you had most likely already thought of it
* Rachel_ smiles.
<Rachel_> It had crossed my mind.
<Rachel_> We'll keep some nice ones for the holidays but I'll try to find a market for the rest.
<Rachel_> Do you know any other wine connoisseurs in the area who happen to be very rich?
<Analisa> I have some friends who live in the Dutchy of Silver Leaves, in the Kingdom of Apples...
* Rachel_ grins.
<Analisa> The Duke there is quite a known collector of such things, your ladyship, and my friends have said how he has often expesssed envy of some of the vintages held in our cellars.
* Rachel_ nods.
<Analisa> (I am the Best Boggan Ever ^-^)
<Rachel_> I'll keep it in mind, Analisa.
<Analisa> Yes, Your ladyship
<Rachel_> Which address should the moogle be sent to with an offer?
* Analisa will tell you, care of so and so, the steward
* Rachel_ stands up and moves over to her desk to collect a quill pen and a scrap of parchment.
<Rachel_> (ok)
* Rachel_ jots it down.
<Analisa> That is all the buisness I had to discuss, your ladyship...
<Rachel_> Thank you Analisa, you've been very helpful.
<Analisa> thank you, your Ladyship
<Analisa> There are matters that require my attention in the kitchens, your ladyship, might I be dismissed?
<Rachel_> Yes, of course.
<Rachel_> Have a good afternoon.
*** BalthCat has left #changeling
<Rachel_> I shall see you anon.
<Analisa> Yes, your Ladyship
<Rachel_> . o O (AH! Where did *that* come from... Grrr...)
* Rachel_ smiles.
* Analisa will stand, and curtsey, then go to the door, and close it with a little bow
* Analisa is still smilling
* Analisa seems to be pretty chipper
