Heee! How funny that John followed Rodney, a complete stranger to him, for hours after his lecture because John thought You looked like you might get in some kind of trouble. (In modern parlance, John: it takes one to know one. ;-) Now I want to see John all in dark clothing but a snowy white cravat & red vest, & Rodney in a dark, fitted cutaway coat & tight pantaloons!

Thanks for writing & sharing this unusual vignette. Do you think you might continue this story??

(NB: I think you mean incredible rather than incredulous in the next to last paragraph.)

Thank you! I might continue, if another batch of prompts strikes me to keep going.

And, perhaps 'incredible' does work a little better there, but it tends to mean more 'really great' than 'unbelievable', so I think I'll leave it the way it is. (But thank you for pointing it out.)
