Second Prayer - written / action

[The temperature outside has dropped dramatically, and that means Jonathan Hollom finds it perfect weather to make stew.

The supplies for it are still on the counter, organized but spread out, and a pot is on the stove, simmering. The dish is a bit Irish... but he doubts his housemates will mind. Pieces of lamb have been seasoned and added to vegetables in the pot.

He's nearly done preparing it-- only five or six hours of staying on the stove to finish it off. And so he can keep an eye on it (once the mess from preparing it is cleaned), he has brought his Bible and notes on another not-quite-sermon he's prepared. It's something to occupy him, nothing more.

He has his Journal out as well and, between stirring the stew again and putting away the supplies, he writes a quick message.]


A very generous group of young ladies has allowed me to stay in their home. In return, I am trying to make myself useful, particularly by providing them with meals.

I would be obliged if anyone had recipies they might share.

Interesting -- that you should assume my acquaintance with these two young women.

Not at all, not at all. They are well loved in this place.

[This may or may not be a warning of sorts.]

As is Miss Swann.

[And that one is definitely a warning, but like the joke its force is muted somewhat by the paper on which it is written. Were he speaking, however, there would be no question.]

And I trust that you are a man who prides himself on paying his debts, yes?

And in full?

Yes. I rather think you had better.
