Tam winked at his friend. [color=green]"Let's do it! I'll be on my best behaviour!"[/color]

They had arrived at the steps of a large townhouse, and Tam stepped in front of the three of them to knock smartly at the door.

[color=green]"Hello? We're here to pay a call on Lord Hyde. My companions here are noble and highly respected military folk, perhaps you have  heard of the Lady Kismet?"[/color] He had no idea whether anyone [i]would[/i] have heard of Kismet before, but hoped that the Lord's pride might induce him to pretend that he had. Blue's natural shyness, he hoped, would seem like high-bred modesty.

[color=green]"And of course you must know of the honourable Saxan Corrhul. We are passing through the town but received word that the Lord's son had been kidnapped, and our consciences could not rest until we righted this wrong."[/color] He knocked at the door again.

[color=green]"Hello?"[/color]
