Seeing the Tower 7e8a0022b6 Master asking dejectedly 1384c3fc0f with such an 9adc24866d uncharacteristically timid face 9f1b9138e1 made me swallow 297c72ede3 hard.564830777d5582b1

“It’s not that bad. It’s just… I d6f192bac6 think I’d feel 8757b9d098 embarrassed riding it f2b6a231d4 and terribly awkward 84db5c8e66 stepping out of ab88255896 it.”73a0fb1848adef24

I had intended to soften 93e21169dc the blow, but even that a84346ade0 seemed to stagger the Tower c8199d6a69 Master. He wobbled slightly as d9a673dcea if the words had 3eb9aeb076 physically hit him.56fe793f56f9d106

The only option 0088d781d9 was to pretend f60fcdc42f ignorance and travel 0d41bfb5f6 with Euclid in 9946cb3ba4 his carriage, but 68929756c9 Sionel’s earlier comment 972c89ceae came to mind.a038c4f9007f462a

In any case, I had d1e1bbbe41 already received more than enough 274554ac7a dowry from the Basilian family. Sionel giving this gift wouldn’t a45ca9bb21 have made much of a bcba8f8f27 difference to me.4ff47b81ec243309
