Lancearc wrote:Jamison nodded to Timothy as the door closed behind them, leaving his steward to grant entry to any of the other invited men and women whilst allowing him to host the first arrival, so as to not appear rude immediately. He held her coat folded over his arm, listening as she first spoke to him with an incredibly rough accent, before she caught herself in embarrassment and did her best to mask it. "It's always a welcome change to leave home. They say that sooner or later you long for it, but I've never found that to be the case." he shared with his guest as he more or less followed her inside more than leading her, watching as she admired paintings, the extravagant rugs and furnishings in the main hall, opulent chandeliers, even the wallpaper bore intricate golden patterns. Jamison watched as she self-consciously slid on a pair of gloves that seemed more than a bit out of place, and what was in truth a fine jacket, making her appear just a bit closer to proper, he feeling as though she may feel a bit intimidated by his and presumably the other arriving lords clean and trim coats, neat suit vests, and expensive ties.
"The pleasure is all mine to have you in London dear, forgiving the weather, I plan to receive all of you as kings. Queens, in your case." he smiled, turning back to gaze out a a rainy window pane near the door, large enough that one could still observe the garden outside.
"I noticed you seemed to enjoy the garden? It is...amazingly beautiful." he sighed, stepping towards the glass and admiring it as she had done. "Have you ever been to the East?" he asked, before continuing. "When I was young, I was taught much about...their culture, their perceptions, how they viewed the world. Their faiths and what they saw as beauty. Their codes of honor, their warrior poets and sword wielding philosophers..." he carried on, pausing for a brief moment.
"An old friend of mine inspired me to plant the garden. Each of the plants I chose the offspring from myself, and had them brought back with me. If it weren't so horrid out I would offer to show you. There is no greater pleasure on God's Earth than to sit in its shadow on a summer's day and craft a haiku, in my eyes." he shared, before shaking his head.
"Of course, I'm rambling, I hope that your trip here was free of complications madame! How was your journey?" he attempted to recover from his trailing off with a nervous chuckle.
Timothy had watched the entire scene from the porch, a large man knocking his ride silly almost immediately upon arrival over a dispute that truly was unwise, given the differential in size between the two men. As the larger man stepped out he could make out his features, a crooked nose residing over a rather well-kempt mustache that was entirely out of place on a scarred and imprinted face. He inwardly figured that this man was...less than polite, one of the scoundrels he knew his lord had invited to their estate that day, but still offered him a friendly greeting. "Good day, sir! My apologies of the weather, may I help you with anything?" he offered as he grabbed the door handle, prepared to grant the newcomer entry.

He smiled and greeted this man as well. "Of course, of course! My Lord has been awaiting your arrival for some time now with great anticipation, Sir Godfrey." he answered, before addressing the question posed by the haggard looking American man. "I'm certain that Lord Gould will see to all of your needs, though I must advise that it would be best not to cloud your mind with such distractions so early." he cautioned, before pushing open the great entrance to announce the new arrivals whom he was well aware with prior to their arrivals and introductions.
"Sirs Godfrey de la Moye and Charles Greystone, the Second." he announced as he ushered the new arrivals in.
"Is that so? I had never known." Jamison answered with interest as Ese told him of an earlier Caliphate's conflicts with China, though it was clear that this was something that she had said so many times before that it hardly qualified as an honest conversation with her, rather it being something she would say almost on cue. It was still impressive that she recalled these things, or wished to, given the circumstances under which she was taught them.
When the new arrivals were announced, he turned with a wide grin and welcomed them, standing beside the Egyptian girl. "Welcome, gentlemen, welcome!" he greeted the two, as the large doors shut behind them. "Perhaps we should get better acquainted elsewhere, rather than standing and tiring ourselves?" he suggested immediately. "Quite pleased to meet each of you, Sir Godfrey, Mr. Greystone."

Charles though to himself when he finally saw Lord Gould," Hmm, this is Lord Gould. I wonder what he wants with a boxer like me?" Charles then looked around the room he was in and was impressed. This Lord Gould person was obviously very wealthy. He then saw that their was an other guest. As he took a closer look at the girl he realized she was Egyptian in origin. Charles then took a small, circular tin out of his pocket and took some tobacco out and started to chew it. He then started to walk over to Lord Gould with his hand extended for a handshake while saying," It is a pleasure to meet ya Lord Gould."

Something in that direction, with some anti-Pope stuff hidden in since he claims to be a new Ecumenical Patriarch.
That's why I don't like heresies. They need to be burned.

Lord Gould's Manor
He had been waiting somewhere across the street for some time, hidden, watching the footmen out front and the numerous guests arrive. Most showed up via carriage, or rarely a cab, some of them he would have to watch out for. One carried himself like a boxer, another a woman strangely enough who had a similar air to some who dealt in stolen goods he had met before. He saw many others besides them, he eventually left his hiding spot and made his way to the main street some way down, before approaching the house. He carried with him an antique cane, that hid a sword within it. It was one of his favorite weapons and was an unexpected one at that. He walked up to the doors and they let him in, and a staff member showed him to the room they were all in.

Another man entered after the Austrian, one which Lord Gould was quite familiar with. Not that he had any prior contact with him, or had ever had any desire to meet the man face to face, but one that his rather extensive network of friends, associates, even mistresses and miscellaneous birds had told him many stories about. "Naturally one of the latest to arrive, the least favorite son of the late Lord Blackwell." Gould smiled. "I must sympathize of course, having lost my own beloved father." he added, before continuing to observe the new arrival. Someone who valued discretion and was often cloaked in a veil of secrecy, though he had to ensure that those assembled knew that any cloak could be dismantled.
"Congratulations on your Viscounty, I never had the pleasure to say so in person. I was quite occupied when I also discovered a new Earl of Jersey had been granted the title, that I attempted to seek this man out to no avail." he smiled innocently enough, though it wasn't hostility, only a simple demonstration.
"Of course, I'm quite happy to have you aboard as well, my Lord."

"Bah" Cameron waved his hand nonchalantly, While he was somewhat surprised at Goulds intelligence, he had somewhat expected it. " Please don't go informing everyone of that, If the papers got wind of it, it would be a tad bit more difficult to do what i do, than it currently is. Some sycophants hope to attach themselves to me because i am the Earl of Jersey, others because I am Viscount Lakewood and am in good standing with the Crown. Others still because i am seemingly a mystery to them." He sat his cane down somewhere and then said " Atleast you don't attach too much importance to class differences like so many of our brethren. Anyways, when i got your invite it looked like a good way to pass the time, and it intrigued me you would give up the Titanic for this."
