**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 19 00:00:05 2022 Mar 19 00:00:05 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:00:06 me too Mar 19 00:00:39 * Molly shuts the door behind her Mar 19 00:04:40 * Morgan gets setup with the mirror and waits patiently Mar 19 00:07:31 *the piece of paper Alice has left on it says lI will be here at 9 o'clock and will send over a note to Duchess Torrington about Siegfried. He reads it twice before it is slid off and Florrie peers into it from close up* Mar 19 00:08:25 * Morgan smiles at her Mar 19 00:08:29 good morning little lady Mar 19 00:10:07 * Molly is now known as Florrie Mar 19 00:10:24 Hello. Where you? Mar 19 00:10:40 Not far from Baden, on a boat Mar 19 00:11:13 *his view gets closer to the ceiling as she carefully lifts it off the table to look beneath it* Mar 19 00:12:23 * Florrie sets it back down, leaning over it again Mar 19 00:12:29 How in mirror? Mar 19 00:12:41 * Morgan winks and whispers Mar 19 00:12:42 magic Mar 19 00:12:55 Found seeds? Mar 19 00:13:14 Not yet.... I'll look for some when we get off the boat Mar 19 00:13:44 Seeds normally in flowers Mar 19 00:13:58 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:14:05 I'll see what I can find for you Mar 19 00:14:17 Thank you. Island nice. Mar 19 00:14:41 I'm glad you like it... you sleeping ok? Mar 19 00:15:05 * Florrie nods "In hammock" Mar 19 00:15:51 No wobbly head? Mar 19 00:16:59 No. Head good. Mar 19 00:17:21 good, I'm pleased about that Mar 19 00:17:48 Visit soon? Mar 19 00:18:16 Soon as we can, but we've got a lot to do... we're going to go to a land thats not been discovered yet... I'll get you some seeds from there too Mar 19 00:18:35 * Florrie nods. Alice comes in Mar 19 00:19:08 A: I'm sorry, I had to clean something up a moment Mar 19 00:19:15 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:19:18 everything alright? Mar 19 00:20:11 *Alice glances at Florrie, then props the mirror up* Now that we are on land, we are trying to be rid of nappy cloths Mar 19 00:20:56 * Florrie looks at Morgan "I tinkled on floor." Mar 19 00:22:05 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:22:17 that happens... you'll get the hang of it eventually Mar 19 00:23:16 A: Florrie , can you go and play in the parlour for a few minutes please? Mar 19 00:23:32 * Florrie looks to Morgan "I go bye" Mar 19 00:23:40 Bye Florrie Mar 19 00:23:51 * Florrie is now known as Alice Mar 19 00:24:26 * Alice make sure she goes before saying "Is something wrong? The note seemed urgent" Mar 19 00:25:04 Not wrong, exactly... I have told Edward about Florrie... Mar 19 00:25:56 * Alice sits down in front of the mirror Mar 19 00:26:04 How did he take it? Mar 19 00:27:00 About as I expected, but he is accepting it... He is somewhat predictable in his reaction Mar 19 00:27:13 In what regard? Mar 19 00:27:36 He's adamant that the right thing to do is to persuade you to marry him Mar 19 00:28:03 * Alice nods Mar 19 00:28:09 We did wonder Mar 19 00:28:18 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:30:00 What are your views on that? Mar 19 00:30:38 It would be very difficult to persuade me. Isn't he getting married in nineteen days? Mar 19 00:32:36 Its an honour thing... I think his preference realistically, would be to marry Mina and still have a relationship with Florrie, but his principles state he should at least try to marry you... the honourable thing to do... Mar 19 00:34:28 * Alice nods "Is he coming here?" Mar 19 00:34:53 Not yet... I promised I'd get you the letter as soon as I could so... I will hold it up for you to read? Mar 19 00:35:06 * Alice nods Mar 19 00:35:11 Yes, please do Mar 19 00:35:16 * Morgan takes it out, holding it up to the mirror Mar 19 00:35:35 * Alice is quiet as she reads it all Mar 19 00:35:51 That is quite a letter, I must say Mar 19 00:36:01 * Morgan nods, putting it away again Mar 19 00:36:08 Aye Mar 19 00:36:17 * Alice is frowning a little Mar 19 00:36:26 Whats on your mind? Mar 19 00:37:03 He makes some good point about Florrie. And it does seem like he has her well-being in mind Mar 19 00:37:15 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:37:33 He does... I think he is being somewhat defeatist, though. Mar 19 00:37:41 Why? Mar 19 00:38:27 He has decided that Mina will not want him, that father will disown him... which I simply do not believe to be the case Mar 19 00:38:50 * Alice nods distractedly Mar 19 00:39:51 You are considering it... Mar 19 00:40:05 * Alice nods Mar 19 00:40:08 I am Mar 19 00:40:35 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:41:30 please bear in mind that regardless of what you decide, you and Florrie will be supported, by me and him and, as he says, he will work with whatever conditions you set Mar 19 00:41:43 * Alice nods Mar 19 00:43:16 I am grateful for that, and I know. But it's more how Florrie is with you. She has come out of her shell so much with you. What if that is what she has been needing all this time? What is she needs a Father with her full time? Mar 19 00:44:14 An understandable thought... Mar 19 00:44:26 * Alice nods Mar 19 00:44:48 I would sacrifice an awful lot for Florrie... Mar 19 00:45:40 I know you would Mar 19 00:45:50 Can I be honest? Mar 19 00:46:16 We have been very honest from the beginning, so yes Mar 19 00:47:00 I think wedding him would be a mistake. I think in time you would clash more and more, I don't believe the two of you would be compatible long term Mar 19 00:47:32 But for _Florrie_ it could make a world of difference Mar 19 00:48:02 And if she is stuck in the middle of that? Of the two of you having constant tension... Mar 19 00:48:54 But maybe that won't happen. My parents were very incompatible and we felt no tension Mar 19 00:49:15 * Morgan shakes his head a moment Mar 19 00:50:13 I think I should take some time to consider it Mar 19 00:50:26 How long do you need? Mar 19 00:50:40 Twenty four hours? Mar 19 00:50:59 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:51:04 I think I can do that... Mar 19 00:51:31 I won't drag it out when they both have their hearts on the line. Mar 19 00:52:05 I was more thinking of how to get some time away from the others to set the mirror up Mar 19 00:52:27 I will leave a note on the surface if that is easier Mar 19 00:53:02 We'll aim to speak but leave a note when you decide just in case Mar 19 00:53:27 I hopefully can give you Lady Torrington answer too Mar 19 00:53:39 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:53:52 That'd be useful Mar 19 00:54:02 * Alice nods Mar 19 00:54:28 I don't want to hurt anyone, but I must do my best by Florrie, I am all she has Mar 19 00:54:37 * Morgan smiles slightly Mar 19 00:54:52 yes you must but... you're not all she has any longer, just as she is not all you have anymore Mar 19 00:55:18 * Alice nods "thank you" Mar 19 00:55:48 * Morgan nods Mar 19 00:56:29 He's asked me if he can run Catterick if father disowns him or you marry him... once my uncle passes away of course Mar 19 00:56:52 That sounds practical Mar 19 00:57:35 * Morgan smiles Mar 19 00:57:55 Perhaps Mar 19 00:58:30 *she spends ten minutes talking about the island, getting updates from the Forresters, and how Morgan and the others are* Mar 19 00:58:49 * Morgan chats with her Mar 19 00:59:17 *they are interrupted by a shout of "Uh oh, tinkle!" Mar 19 00:59:28 * Alice smiles, shaking her head Mar 19 00:59:34 I need to go Mar 19 00:59:44 Before she does... Mar 19 00:59:50 * Morgan chuckles Mar 19 01:00:00 * Alice nods, laughing Mar 19 01:00:21 I'll let you know. Thank you. Take care Mar 19 01:00:30 And you, Alice Mar 19 01:00:56 * Alice puts the paper back on it, and it all goes quiet Mar 19 01:01:05 * Morgan /me does likewise, packing the mirror away Mar 19 01:04:14 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 19 10:40:16 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Mar 19 10:41:52 *a guess at the time implies there's about half an hour til disembark* Mar 19 10:42:11 * Morgan heads up to find Molly Mar 19 10:42:47 * MollyK is busy talking to one of the crew men Mar 19 10:46:05 * Morgan stays out of the way, watching her Mar 19 10:46:49 * MollyK is polite but confident, and the crewman soon goes. She looks focused and thoughtful Mar 19 10:47:19 * Morgan goes to her Mar 19 10:48:46 * MollyK smiles "I have asked for some food to take with us for lunch" Mar 19 10:48:54 * Morgan nods Mar 19 10:48:56 good idea Mar 19 10:49:07 * MollyK nods Mar 19 10:49:43 And Heinzharold knows where to get horses or a carriage, so he will deal with that, depending on your preference Mar 19 10:50:30 Thats fine...I've got a letter to deliver in Baden Mar 19 10:50:56 Do you wish us to get on the road and you catch us up? Mar 19 10:51:30 Probably an idea... *he looks round* Alice is giving Edwards proposal serious thought Mar 19 10:51:47 * MollyK looks incredulous Mar 19 10:51:54 Why on Theah?! Mar 19 10:52:34 She has an idea that how Florrie has reacted to me could show that she needs her father around... Mar 19 10:53:01 * MollyK sighs Mar 19 10:53:20 I should've asked you to stay Mar 19 10:53:29 Why? Mar 19 10:54:19 Because I've no doubt you would've had an insight that would have been useful Mar 19 10:55:45 Perhaps I will leave her a note. But I can understand her feelings. Florrie is very important to her, and a marriage for practicality is what most people have Mar 19 10:55:56 * Morgan nods Mar 19 10:56:13 I think it would be a disaster Mar 19 10:57:10 I think he is going to always pine for Mina. But if Alice is not expecting it to be a love match, perhaps that will not trouble her Mar 19 10:59:03 * Morgan nods Mar 19 10:59:26 * MollyK chews her lower lip Mar 19 10:59:45 I am not sure how much we should meddle Mar 19 11:04:17 * Morgan nods Mar 19 11:04:26 I know... Mar 19 11:04:58 I generally disapprove of meddling in other people's relationships, but... Mar 19 11:06:03 but this is a colossal mistake? Mar 19 11:09:06 On balance, I think he, Alice, Florrie and Mina will all be happier if he marries Mina instead. Honourable as the idea seems, one day he may come to resent Alice and Florrie for keeping him from Mina *this is similar to her concerns in the accidental pregnancy thread that Morgan would come to resent her and the child for keeping him alive and Mar 19 11:09:06 separated from Dietlinde and Jana* Mar 19 11:09:41 * Morgan frowns briefly before nodding Mar 19 11:10:05 We've got a little time before we disembark if you wanted to put a note on the mirror. Mar 19 11:11:22 I could... Edward also needs to understand that Mina cannot, and _should not_ remain unmarried and childless if he marries Alice. He will have to see her move on, possibly fall in love again, wed, and have children. Mar 19 11:11:49 * Morgan nods Mar 19 11:12:00 I don't think he will accept that coming from me Mar 19 11:12:51 Do I need to be put onto the battle line now, my love? *she smiles* Mar 19 11:13:46 I think so.... I am loathe to but, it is too important Mar 19 11:14:34 You know that I cannot do it by halfs? If I am to invent, it will be to prevent them marrying entirely Mar 19 11:15:06 Intervene* Mar 19 11:15:49 How? I am reluctant to drive a wedge that would harm any relationships in the future Mar 19 11:16:41 Being persuasive. I will not set them against each other. I will be working for them being kind to each other by both of them being able to have happy, loving marriages Mar 19 11:19:40 * Morgan nods Mar 19 11:19:44 alright Mar 19 11:19:58 If I am meddling, I need to know that it is something you are resolved on. We are committed to intervening, and our goal is to prevent Alice and Edward wedding. Mar 19 11:21:17 Without harming the relationship... Edward _must_ have a relationship with Florrie Mar 19 11:21:24 Absolutely Mar 19 11:22:45 * Morgan nods Mar 19 11:22:46 alright Mar 19 11:22:55 *the captain announces it is twenty minutes til docking, and suggests people bring their luggage on deck ready* Mar 19 11:23:57 I need to write this note, and I will bring our things up. Could you arrange the horses or carriage with Heinzharold? I will try to speak with Edward on the journey, or single him out at Hafenlohr Mar 19 11:25:02 * Morgan nods Mar 19 11:25:14 Alice is going to try to speak with us tomorrow at nine, as today Mar 19 11:26:01 Something you said from your dream... Edward said undoing the marriage would not be as damaging as ending a publicly known betrothal... imagine the damage that would happen to both Mina and Edward when cancelling a wedding that an Eisenfurst is due to attend with only two weeks notice... Mar 19 11:28:45 * Morgan blinks Mar 19 11:29:03 I suspect he will argue that it does not count as much because he is not the Veisgraf Mar 19 11:29:44 But he and his friends have talked about it in Freiburg too, a few nobles mentioned what a good match it was... Mar 19 11:29:54 * Morgan nods Mar 19 11:29:58 and Alice? Mar 19 11:30:31 Alice is secure on Morgan's Rock Mar 19 11:30:49 yes, I meant... in terms of what is best for Florrie... Mar 19 11:32:53 I am not at all convinced it is a need for _any_ man that drives her attachment to you, but with Alice settled she could pursue a relationship with a potential father figure for Florrie, or she could spend time with Beth and Pete to give her such. And Edward and Mina could visit. Mar 19 11:36:54 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 19 12:26:55 * AndroUser (~androirc@109.249.181.125) has joined Mar 19 12:27:52 * AndroUser2 (~androirc@31.185.35.86) has joined Mar 19 12:28:00 * AndroUser2 has quit (Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com )) Mar 19 12:28:13 * AndroUser has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Mar 19 15:14:55 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 19 15:20:56 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 19 15:29:21 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 19 15:31:24 You think her attachment to me is caused by the meddling of others? Mar 19 15:32:11 I suppose that is possible, but I was thinking more that it is specific to you Mar 19 15:35:32 why? Mar 19 15:36:04 Because it is who you are. You are good with children. Mar 19 15:36:32 * Morgan shrugs Mar 19 15:36:36 I suppose so Mar 19 15:37:09 * MollyK nods Mar 19 15:37:13 I will talk to Edward about the potential dishonour of pulling out of the engagement, Mina marrying, and the unfairness of asking Alice to commit to only being with him when he will not be forsaking Mina in his heart or mind. Mar 19 15:38:14 * Morgan nods Mar 19 15:38:25 He will say he is willing to let Alice have lovers I think Mar 19 15:40:11 And if she falls in love with him and he cannot return that because of Mina? No. Unfair and cruel. Mar 19 15:40:46 * Morgan nods Mar 19 15:40:50 alright Mar 19 15:41:32 * MollyK nods Mar 19 15:41:37 I will be back soon Mar 19 15:41:51 * Morgan nods Mar 19 15:41:52 alright my love Mar 19 15:43:04 * MollyK goes below. The port of Baden is just about visible in the distance. Mar 19 15:44:03 * Morgan heads over to HeinzHarold Mar 19 15:44:22 * MollyK is now known as HH Mar 19 15:44:39 * HH has his arm around Inga's waist Mar 19 15:46:47 Well my friend, we're in charge of finding carriages and horses Mar 19 15:47:19 * HH nods Mar 19 15:47:40 Keep an eye out f' four legs, that's usually what they got Mar 19 15:52:07 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 19 18:49:50 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 19 18:49:57 [15:39:40] HH: Keep an eye out f' four legs, that's usually what they got Mar 19 18:50:03 * MollyK is now known as HH Mar 19 18:53:33 Last time you went off with that description, you came back with a large dog Mar 19 18:53:58 'E was almost big enough to ride Mar 19 18:54:53 I wasn't disputing that Mar 19 18:55:46 How many 'orses we want? Mar 19 18:59:46 Probably... four? Could make do with three, but I want a bit of mobility once we get into... the questionable part of the journey Mar 19 19:00:20 And a carriage Mar 19 19:00:50 with a horse at the front Mar 19 19:00:56 or a really big dog Mar 19 19:00:58 * Morgan shrugs Mar 19 19:01:04 * HH grins Mar 19 19:01:24 Drive it yerself and there'll be an ass in front Mar 19 19:03:02 thats not very nice Mar 19 19:03:37 Nope Mar 19 19:04:01 You needin' a cuddle now? Mar 19 19:04:41 Not from you Mar 19 19:05:57 Where is yer wife anyway? Mar 19 19:07:57 leaving a note for someone Mar 19 19:09:23 * HH nods Mar 19 19:09:43 Not a fan o' these small beds Mar 19 19:09:54 No I wouldn't imagine you are Mar 19 19:10:22 I'm a big lad, I need space to spread out Mar 19 19:10:31 * Morgan nods Mar 19 19:12:58 I: I ended up on the floor at one point Mar 19 19:14:45 my bed got involved in my nightmare... Mar 19 19:15:09 Eh? Mar 19 19:15:44 I got tangled up in the sheets, which coincided wonderfully with what I was dreaming Mar 19 19:17:56 Being tangled up in th' sheets sounds more like a special sorta dream just for grown ups *he grins* Mar 19 19:18:26 * Morgan shakes his head Mar 19 19:18:29 sadly not this time Mar 19 19:20:07 Mebbie tonight, y' might get lucky Mar 19 19:25:45 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 19 19:26:39 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 19 19:26:46 [19:12:06] HH: Mebbie tonight, y' might get lucky Mar 19 19:26:51 * MollyK is now known as HH Mar 19 19:27:11 Rare that I dream anything terribly nice Mar 19 19:28:57 * HH nods. The ferry is slowing a little in preparation, and Edward helps Molly bring up their luggage. The weather is cold but dry, and they are all keen to leave. Morgan notices that despite the busyness of the deck, there's no sign of the storyteller Mar 19 19:29:50 * Morgan frowns, looking round Mar 19 19:32:20 *he doesn't see him anywhere* Mar 19 19:32:37 * Morgan collars one of the crew Mar 19 19:34:02 *the crewman has no idea who he is, but offers to ask around. By the time they are docked, Morgan is told that no one matching that description was on the ship* Mar 19 19:39:44 * HH looks at Morgan, shrugging "weird" Mar 19 19:40:46 * Morgan nods slowly, frowning Mar 19 19:40:57 Gonn' be looking into that Mar 19 19:42:32 * HH nods. On the dock itself, HH and Morgan go to organise transport, and Morgan takes the black horse he will be riding with him to a small cottage where he is told the woman can be found Mar 19 19:46:52 * Morgan ties the horse up before looking the house over Mar 19 19:47:30 *its in reasonable repair, lots of small children play in the street outside Mar 19 19:47:58 * Morgan checks the name on the envelope before knocking on the door Mar 19 19:51:59 *a woman answers, a baby at her breast and a child around two, clinging to her skirts* help you, sir? Mar 19 19:52:32 I'm looking for *gives name* Mar 19 19:52:55 *she nods* that's me Mar 19 19:54:17 May I come in? Mar 19 19:55:50 * HH nods, urging the child further in. It's untidy, but only due to overcrowding rather than neglect. She directs him to a high back chair that has seen better days Mar 19 19:56:03 * HH is now known as woman Mar 19 19:56:09 * Morgan sits down carefully Mar 19 19:57:05 *it creaks but holds. The child watches him curiously. It's impossible to tell if it is a boy or a girl Mar 19 19:57:43 If it's about the butchers bill, we're gonna pay it on Friday Mar 19 19:57:51 * Morgan shakes his head Mar 19 19:58:37 No, not at all... This'll sound ridiculous but... I was in Dietmund and found a letter addressed to you. I thought I should deliver it to you Mar 19 19:59:27 * woman frowns "how old is it?" Mar 19 19:59:58 Well, it'd be before the end of the war I expect Mar 19 20:00:27 *she nods, taking a deep breath* Alright Mar 19 20:00:40 * Morgan takes it from his pocket, handing it over Mar 19 20:01:41 * woman takes it in the hand that isn't cradling the nurseling, but she doesn't open it yet Mar 19 20:01:52 How did you find it? Mar 19 20:02:22 I took my son to see the fort... he pointed it out in the rubble Mar 19 20:02:43 * woman nods, looking at the front Mar 19 20:02:52 My first husband died there Mar 19 20:03:02 * Morgan nods Mar 19 20:03:10 You remarried... Mar 19 20:03:25 * woman nods Mar 19 20:03:40 About a year after the War ended Mar 19 20:03:45 * Morgan nods Mar 19 20:05:03 My current husband was married before too. His wife died the same summer Mar 19 20:05:26 I'm sorry you've both suffered such loss Mar 19 20:05:59 * woman nods "thank you. Quite some time ago now" Mar 19 20:06:08 * Morgan nods Mar 19 20:06:22 It still seems very recent at times Mar 19 20:07:40 * woman nods "little things happen, bring back memories for one or the other of us. We support each other through theml Mar 19 20:08:03 * Morgan nods Mar 19 20:08:10 I understand that Mar 19 20:08:36 Lost a wife yourself? Mar 19 20:08:43 * Morgan nods Mar 19 20:08:55 and daughter Mar 19 20:09:53 * woman nods "sorry to hear it." *she looks his hand* married again, or still wearing it?
