Boer's Landing - Relen in the forenoon.

(1/3) > >>

Esme Tamlin:
Greetings my gentle Lords and Ladies and well come to Boer’s Landing, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Esme Tamlin, I am the daughter of the Lady Margeet. I am here to greet you in my capacity as aide and personal secretary to the Lady Chatelaine.

Please make yourselves comfortable, can I get you some refreshments? Some wine? We have some acceptable vintages. I am told that the local brewers make an excellent spring ale if that is more to your taste. Or some tea perhaps?

The painting? It is just a scene typical of the Ruideside in the autumn. You like it? Oh thank you Milady, I did it myself. Why yes, I enjoy painting portraits and landscapes in my spare time, and I have been painting the Lords and people of the Ruideside

Esme Tamlin:
Would you like to see some more while you wait?

Wonderful! Right this way please. I am quite proud of them actually; you will let me know what you think, yes? I beg your indulgence Ma’am, please forgive the mess and clutter, this is where I paint and as of yet I have not hung any other paintings. Just give me a moment, ah yes, here we are. This is one I did of my step fa…, I’m sorry, I mean of His Excellency the Lord-Commander. A thoughtful pose don’t you think?

Esme Tamlin:
And here is one of the Lord-Lieutenant, it seems strange to call a woman “Lord” anything does it not, Milady? However, it is the phrasing the Countess prefers, which is somewhat odd as she takes the title of Mistress of Foot rather then “Master”. Why yes, she is niece to the Baron of Tariene.

Esme Tamlin:
Let’s see, who else have we? Oh I rather like this one, such an interesting face has Moergan! This is Grand Master Donalls, he is, I believe, an uncle, or perhaps second or third cousin of the Thane herself. Yes, yes, that is correct Milady, he is Master of Horse, but also the Warden of the River Frontier as well.

Esme Tamlin:
The Lieutenant-Governor? Why yes Milady, I did one of him, though I must warn you it's not one of my best though... it’s here somewhere…. I really should tidy these up. Ah here it is, I present to you Senior Captain Johan Wulfhauten. Why yes he is quite handsome and a most terribly fierce warrior as well, though a bit of a rake if rumour is to be believed!
