Honorable Faceless Thing
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Thurdo wadded up the piece of paper and tossed it out the open window, into the head-heaps below. A stupid first sentence, for a stupid gent with a stupid name. Thurdo. What kind of name was that? His grandfather had been Murdo MacNelson, his father Murdo MacNelson, Jr. What on Earth was wrong with Murdo MacNelson the Third? Thurdo. Suppose his mother thought that was funny, and his father couldn’t argue with a woman who’d just undergone childbirth. Turdo, that’s what the schoolchildren called him back when schools happened. Set him up for a life of embarrassment, is all it did, and if things continued to go as they were going, it’d set Thurdo MacNelson up for an objectively embarrassing death as well.

The water on the inside of the boat concerned Marliza, but what was worse, it did not seem to concern the others aboard. It was a floating banquet, in more senses than one. The currents rocked the vessel back and forth, as it drifted with no immediate destination. That was just the natural flow of the forces at work outside of the yacht. George sent her down below to fetch more smoked-salmon canapés and Dijon mustard, though why wasn’t clear to her. Those above hadn’t managed to consume a full tray of the finger foods yet; their beverages had kept them pretty busy.
