*Enter Nan King, a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a rather fine suit and shirt. She raises an eyebrow and takes off her hat, looking amused*

'Lo, there. I'm Nan King. *she pauses, then, and adds, softly* Is there a Miss Kitty Butler here?

Typist: Nan, from Tipping the Velvet. I blame Anna. XD
