Steampunk Weekly - 5.03.10


Pardon me ladies. I have been awaiting this package for some time. And if it what I think it is, then I must share it with you immediately. Eva said as she put her letter opener to work on the envelope just handed her by Amanda Leigh.

To Eva's delight, she pulled out a stack of train tickets.

Ladies, I have here, a ticket for each of you. Should you want to attend the first SteamPink meeting held by the Society. The meeting will be held on the Devonian Express. You shall find out more about the Society and things SteamPink during this event. Eva smiled excitedly and eagerly sought the reaction from each woman present.

The silence was broken when this mechanical creature crept out of Mary Ann's reticule.

Eva stared in wonder.

Amanda Leigh stood up immediately and made feeble attempts to swat the creature away with her reticule. She was in a similar situation where getting to close to such a creature could cause electrocution.

Freda's tea cup fell to the ground.

What do you have to say for yourself Mary Ann?

~*~

Jane and Jade have reached the wooded path to McGregor's castle. They are halfway there.

They hear rustling in the bushes.

Jade investigates.

Ah, I do believe 'tis Sullivan. Jade discovers.

Sullivan McPig? Must be on holiday with his owner hereabouts. I wonder if he's hunting truffles. I know Eva said that there have been some in the area. Jane takes a moment to dream of chocolate truffles.

Oy, Sullivan. How do? Jade bends down to address McPig.
