Taking Some Evidence
The Black Void - Episode 2949
|
I carefully tear out a sheet relating to payments made over a year ago, in
the hope that Gustav will not miss such an old page. My costume offers
little scope for concealment, so I decide that the best hiding place will
be in one of my shoes. I fold up the sheet and slip it in between the sole
of the shoe and my foot. Then, as nearly as I can, I put everything back
the way that I found it.
I have rather lost track of time, and when I look at the grandfather clock in the corner of the room I see that 25 minutes have passed. (Grandfather clocks seem to be the only ones that have yet been developed here, and I imagine that they are expensive items.) It's about time that I returned to my duties, if Gustav or one of his staff isn't to come looking for me. Always assuming that my outfit is dry by now, of course. I check and determine that it is. I remove my shoes, as it's much easier to change when not wearing them. Then I take off the bathrobe and put on the skirt. I am just about to put on the top when the door opens. Unfortunately, without thinking I turn to face the door to see who it is, rather than turning my back on it.
