  1. Doctor Pavelthorpe? Allow me to introduce myself. I am Scotland Yard.
  2.  
  3. He was accompanied.
  4.  
  5. Pardon, but you're not permitted to invite colleagues.
  6.  
  7. These ne'er-do-wells are most certainly no acquaintances of mine.
  8.  
  9. Fret not, for no compensation is required on account of the aforementioned.
  10.  
  11. And on what grounds should I desire their company?
  12.  
  13. These hooded gentlemen were attempting to abduct the good Doctor Pavelthorpe. We've deduced that they are employed by that dastardly sell-sword, the devilish fiend...
  14.  
  15. Banesworth?
  16.  
  17. Quite so, old bean.
  18.  
  19. Tally-ho and board these hooded goons into the whirligig, I shall send a telegram to my superiors post-haste!
  20. ---
  21. The itinerary that was sent by myself to my benefactors has within its items; myself (henceforth referred to as Scotland Yard), the crew that was assigned me (who shall for obvious reasons remain unnamed), and the good Dr. Pavelthorpe here. But, I am sorry to say, that but one of you was listed in the program!
  22.  
  23. The most rapid of you to yap will be compensated with asylum upon my airship!
  24.  
  25. Who waged you to acquire custody of the good Doctor Pavelthorpe?
  26.  
  27. He has not experienced flight in an appropriate manner!
  28.  
  29. Who would like to probe the waters next?
  30.  
  31. Give up the information that I seek concerning Banesworth! Why would such a fearsome man conceal his face with a mechanical veil, what is it that he is hiding?
  32.  
  33. Quite an abundance of stubborn fidelity for a mere mercenary!
  34.  
  35. Or perhaps he is pondering why one would fire upon a gentleman, before proceeding to expel him from an airship.
  36.  
  37. At the very least you seem accustomed to vocation, reveal your identity to me at once!
  38.  
  39. I must say that our identities hold no value, when juxtaposed against the importance of our purpose.
  40.  
  41. No man paid me consideration until I donned the top hat.
  42.  
  43. If I remove your top hat will you cease to be?
  44.  
  45. It would be most excruciating.
  46.  
  47. You are a bloke of grand stature.
  48.  
  49. In comparison to yourself.
  50.  
  51. Pray tell, was being apprehended by Scotland Yard part of your grand machination?
  52.  
  53. Indubitably! Doctor Pavelthorpe denied our proposition with bias to your own. We have been tasked to deduce what exactly he has informed you of.
  54.  
  55. Nothing! I have not imparted any kind of meaningful information which I am presently suspected of imparting and so, I say once more, I have said nothing!
  56.  
  57. Well I congratulate your efforts, master, you have indeed found yourself in my custody.
  58.  
  59. Inspector?
  60.  
  61. Now let us proceed to the subsequent stride in your grand strategy!
  62.  
  63. Bursting this airship--WITH NOT ONE RESIDUAL PASSENGER!
  64.  
  65. (These actions cannot be proceeding in this manner, for I am surely in charge.)
  66. ---
  67. Nay! They anticipate one of our own in the flotsam, my dear kindred!
  68.  
  69. Have we ignited the incandescent flames kept alit by whale oil?
  70.  
  71. Truly my brother! The flames shall engulf the heavens and be visible to all those who stand beneath!
  72.  
  73. Come now, my dear doctor. Presently, the circumstances do not permit us to be fearful.
  74.  
  75. Such emotions will be experienced at a subsequent time.
