I just happen to have an imperial quart of Pusser's Original Navy Rum on hand... no one is planning on going anywhere for awhile, correct? |

*Using a handkerchief discreetly pops AirshipGreaseMonkey's "Ner-Do-Well" back into his pocket for him*
Easy does it Sir, there's ladies present and some of the more impressionable members might get the wrong idea. The good rum takes some people like that, by suprise I mean.
*ruminates on complimenting MWBailey on the size of his cannon, decides not to run the risk of being blackballed or evaporated*
Is there any rum, left or has it all gone?

Oh no, plenty of the nectar of the gods left around. I've got 15 bottles of the stuff squirreled away in my room. Not that I'm an alcoholic So, who wants a snifter of Royal Oak? |

Mr. Harrison,
your stocks are safe for a while. The dirigible from the brewery is landing on the lawns. I'll send the automatons to unload and stock the cellar.
But maybe they should just bring one barrel of rum straight here, eh? is one barrel enough for...this evening? I'll ask them to bring two and put the other 40 downstairs.

That's reassuring. Once the 15 bottles are gone, and the barrel I've got down in the cellar, that leaves only two barrels and four further bottles left. I don't want to alarm anyone unduly but that's enough for.... about 3 nights' sustenance. I'm running desperately low on my stocks of the stuff. |

Good gracious, it's been nearly a month since anyone came in here! Look at the dust everywhere, it's a disgrace I tell you. The fire's burning merrily in the grate still I note- now who forgot to bed that down?
