"Miss Ella, Mr. Marley is not petty. He's occupied with work and social commitments, where would he find the time to be upset. As far as I can see, he barely has time to appreciate you."
"Harry, you're getting good at sweet talk."
"Being with you at the university, I guess I've picked up some of it..."
Harry North shyly scratched his ear, then pulled something resembling a pinhole camera from his sleeve, handing it to Ella Lacey, "This can update and transmit our location in real time to Mr. Marley. If he wants to come, he can find us immediately."
"I'll keep it safe."
Ella Lacey turned around, gingerly pinning it inside her pink bra.
Back at the riverside.
Emma Campbell was laughing and chatting with Vermes Marley.
This was somewhat unlike Emma's usual aloof manner. Isn't she always indifferent?
And Vermes Marley seemed different too. He, the demon scoundrel, could smile?
