[...] What is an unexpected skill or special interest in your repertoire.

And why did someone add a ferret stampede to Temporal Puzzle 5146.b.

Is anyone a proficient driver of [...] station wagons. I have to go into Stamford this weekend and the agency burdened me with a freighter.

Even if you do not feel my driving is satisfactory, I would like to come. Everyone likes a good treasure hunt.

What have you found at estate sales in the past?

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

The fact sheet says it fits eight, which is far too many people for one vehicle.

I once found a collection of marine paintings from the early 19th century in the back of a pantry, and every once in a while I'd come across a miniature portrait box. [...] Before the agency, it was a more enjoyable way to find new furnishings than walking into a store.

BCMTTS.

[tedora]

But it will allow for more personal space for the people who are in the vehicle.

Did you keep any of these treasures?

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

We'll have to holler at each other just to be heard.

Some of my cufflinks and outerwear. A couple of the portrait boxes, but we sold the paintings to afford a very nice sofa. [...] Which also did not come with me.

BCMTTS.

[tedora]

I suppose in this case, the middle seat is the best seat.

I’d like it if you showed me the portrait boxes sometime. It is a shame about the sofa, though the one you have now seems nice too.

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

We found the only possible scenario in which the middle seat is preferable. I will be taking my rightful place as Passenger Princess.

[...] I will. It made this sofa look like a cardboard box.

BCMTTS.

[tedora]

That does seem like a title handcrafted for you.

Perhaps you can replace it with a similar one to the one you used to have?

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

It was.

One of the any things in life a person shouldn't hold a torch for, Teddy, is a sofa.

BCMTTS.

[tedora]

What’s wrong with holding a torch?

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

Didn't we ju If you hold onto it too long, you burn?.

BCMTTS.

[tedora]

It’s a nice sofa, not an actual torch. It’s okay to want the comforts that you’ve experienced in the past.

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

It fit in perfectly with my old li flat but it would clash with everything that I have to live with now.

BCMTTS.

[tedora]

Well, yes. You could have it reupholstered.

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

Why are you so insistent I buy a new sofa?

BCMTTS.

[tedora]

You compared your current one to a cardboard box.

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

When compared to the one I used to own. Which was [...] very high quality.

BCMTTS.

[rebrith]

Oh, that must have been such a find! We had a few of Turner's earlier work when I was young. I have wondered what happened to them.

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

[...] If you remember which pieces, there are [...] methods.

BCMTTS.

[rebrith]

The Slave Ship and Fishermen at Sea, to start.

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

I have some suspicions.

BCMTTS.

[rebrith]

Of?

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

Where the latter could be, and whom to ask about the former. I c Would it ma you [...] like me to [...] contact [...] someone.

BCMTTS.

[rebrith]

If it's not too much trouble. It would feel very silly to have a Turner sitting in our house but [...] if it's not too much trouble it couldn't hurt to check.

BCMTTS.

[craquelure]

There's nothing silly about having sentimental art.

BCMTTS.

[rebrith]

Then I would appreciate it, Sébastien. Thank you.
