	It was quite a show. The kind of ability that Mary wouldn't mind learning for herself, if it were allowed by the Vatican and her Order. Very impressive. Judging by the look on Gerard's face, he agreed with Mary's assessment. The Sister's repertoire versus the non-corporeal left something to be desired; even when working under more senior [i]Venatores est Inanimati[/i], they tended to avoid or outsource Cargast. Then again, the Order of St. Sylvester didn't have a lot of people like Mary. And she did have a desire to increase her usefulness to the cause. Perhaps the Bishop knew of the Church's stance on the matter, he was once a Venator himself and was presently her liaison to Rome. That was a question for tomorrow. 

	Elizaveta's request for Mary to join her entourage to Almack's brought a broad smile to her face. She slipped her hand into her sporran bag and withdrew an envelope, within which was a formal invitation. [color=c0c0c0]"This is an amusing turn of events, Lady Romanova. I have business at Almack's at the request of the proprietors. I would already be there if circumstances had not kept me within the walls of Ely. They were quite last minute; I have my horse and provisions fully ready to depart at a moment's notice."[/color] She looked to Bishop Mansfield expectantly. Though not one of the cloistered Sisters here at St. Etheldreda's, she was still bound by her Oath of Obedience. In this place, that meant the Bishop's order to stay within the grounds carried until he said otherwise, or directed by a higher authority.

	[color=c0c0c0]"I was unaware that you had business there as well, my Lady. I had planned to request your company, if you felt up to it this evening. Of course, I should require the Bishop's permission before I commit myself to any action tonight."[/color]
