Broom With a View
“Everyone was packed and ready to leave by ten o’clock, despite the Signora of the Belladonna protesting that everything should be fine if they’d only give it a few days. Violet suspected the Signora was more concerned about an empty pensione than she was about her guests’ safety.
The only nonresident of the pensione to participate was old Professor Yog, who was found waiting in the parlour with his jewel-embedded walking stick. A modest leather satchel was all that accompanied him in terms ...of luggage. Either the old gentleman did not recognize Count Du Monde from their conflict in the cathedral or he did not remember it, but either way, when they were introduced, he chose not to acknowledge that he had ever previously set eyes on the Vampire. It turned out that Mr. B had known the professor for over a century and didn’t feel comfortable leaving the distinguished gentleman to fend for himself with the city in such chaos. So his appearance in the parlour was not such a surprise after all.MoreLess
