You'll give what your full attention later?

[no_commonplace]

... This curious piece of technology, of course.

[chosered]

You mean the communication device?

[no_commonplace]

Ah. Is that what you call it? How very interesting.

[chosered]

I think mostly they call it a Network Device, really.

[no_commonplace]

And I gather its primary function is to communicate.

But with whom? I have never come across an individual who owned such a new and no doubt expensive piece of technology...

[chosered]

With everyone else in the City.

[no_commonplace]

The City... that is the name of this place, is it not?

[chosered]

People keep saying it's not very original, but how many cities are named the City, after all?

[no_commonplace]

You make a fine point. Well, the name matters very little to me. I am interested in returning to London as soon as possible.

[chosered]

I don't know how soon that will happen.

[no_commonplace]

If there is a delay at the station, I will find an inn to stay for a few nights.

[chosered]

The Welcome Center has beds.

[no_commonplace]

I see, thank you for the information.

[chosered]

You're welcome.

I'm Kenny Potter.

[no_commonplace]

A pleasure, Mr. Potter. I am Sherlock Holmes.
