Bird became more loquacious the more Olo poured the wine for her. He sat politely and listened to her tales of adventure. 'She really is quite the adventuress!' he thought to himself. 'What an interesting life you have, Miss Bird!' he said out loud to her. Then, redirecting her attention gently he asked, 'I wonder, have you ever had any adventures with Miss Holly?'

He waited for her to answer, but the wine had finally gotten to her. Her head lay lolled back on the pillow, and a soft snore issued from her lips. Taking the coverlet from the end of the bed, he placed it over her, taking the now empty cup from her fingers.

He placed the cups, utensils, and dishes on the bare tray, along with the empty flask, and took them downstairs to the kitchen.

'Best check on the horses.' he said to himself, as he exited the kitchen's door.
