Saluto
Adjusting the lace at her cuffs, she glances nervously toward the heavy oak door of the hotel dining room in Lausanne.
You must forgive my distraction, but I find the air in Switzerland increasingly... crowded. I have the distinct impression that my movements are no longer my own. Tell me, sir, do you believe a woman of my standing is prone to mere fancies, or is it possible that the gentleman with the dark beard in the lobby has been following us since the Rhine? I have a letter that must reach London, but I find I can trust no one at the Hotel National. You have a look of integrity about you—or perhaps it is merely my desperation speaking. Will you help me secure my passage, or are you, too, a shadow sent to watch me?
