Willem Guilder was entranced by his surroundings when he was startled by the knock at the door. After another knock, he came to his senses and loudly said “Come in!” The courier entered the parlor of the Governor’s mansion and immediately wondered if he had accidentally gone to the greenhouse. “Wow, tulips!” he remarked. “Yes, yes,” Guilder replied, happy that the courier knew what the flowers were. “They’re the latest rage. We’ve discovered fascinating plants and fruit and such from all over the Brick Seas – bananas, pineapples, pumpkins – but these tulips seem the most remarkable, and they’re from Pontelli!” “Yessir, my missus has been all over me to get her some.” “Well, please, take some. You must keep the little lady happy. Which do you fancy?” “They’re all lovely. She’d be happy with any of them.” “I’m partial to the Norwegian Blue, myself,” remarked Guilder. “Er, that’s Royal Blue, sir,” replied the courier. “The Norwegian Blue is a parrot.” “Ah, yes, quite right,” replied Guilder, “but they’re still my favorite.” “Where did you get all these?” “My brother Thomas acquired these for me. He’s quite the insider on the tulip trade. I must seek his advice, as I think the MCTC needs to take advantage of this booming market.” “Yes, indeed,” agreed the courier. After a pause, the courier asked, “Why did you send for me, sir?” “Oh, yes,” said Guilder, again breaking his tulip trance. “Take these orders down to the shipyard. We must get the Oscuridad’s sister ship out of dry dock.” “Very good, sir. And thank you for the tulips.” Guilder’s reply did not come, his attention returned to the tulips. ------ A small vig to sistership the Oscuridad III, and to get in on the tulip craze. All C&C welcome.
