[For a man of his era, Lord Henry has picked up the basics of the computer with surprising alacrity and ease. Perhaps he has been motivated by the understanding that it provides him with a platform of unprecedented scale.

So behold: a well-bred Englishman in his mid- to late-forties: if his good looks are a bit worn around the edges, he is still quite handsome in a way that suggests he cut a truly rakish figure when younger. His voice is exceptionally pleasant and musical, and when he speaks, his words are accompanied by graceful—though not excessive—gestures of his slender hands.]

I am given to understand that this device offers a podium to rival the pulpit at Westminster Abbey. Capital—although I assure you that I shall not bore you with a sermon; I can't abide a man who makes of himself an amateur curate.

Allow me to introduce myself—Lord Henry Wotton, late of London, which is not nearly so exciting as the vision of Moreau in which I now find myself. There are many questions with which I'm rather concerned at the moment, but most importantly, where does one find a tailor in this city? And, tiresome though domestic matters are, I suppose I must enquire after a valet. There are many indignities a gentleman may suffer in silence, but not an inadequate selection of poorly-pressed shirts.

That sounds dreadfully depressing, to see and not be seen.

Well... yeah, it was. But things are getting better! Especially here.

It is a fine thing to be able to cultivate a proper audience at last. Especially as I imagine you must have some fascinating stories and experiences to relate.

I can tell you, if you want.

I should be most interested—though in the meanwhile I have certain domestic matters to which to attend. I would certainly seek you out later, however.

[ Jack smacks himself in the forehead even though Henry can't see it. ]

Oh man... sorry about that. Some welcoming committee member I am! Is there something I can help out with?

I am expecting a caller shortly, who I imagine will be of some help, so for the time being my affairs are largely in order. Thank you.

[ sheepishly ]

Oh, okay. Uhh... I guess I'll let you get to that.

I hope we shall [no, not see] speak again. You've been very kind.

You're welcome. See you around, Mr Henry.
