\"The<\/a>Lady Ty has decided to call in her favor.<\/p>\n

“Peter,\u201d said Lady Ty, \u201cNightingale is not to know about this\u2014 is that clear?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cCrystal,\u201d I said. <\/p>\n

As soon as she hung up, I called the Folly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not that he’ll let something like Lady Ty keep him down.<\/p>\n

Stephanopoulos wanted me to encourage him but not too much. \u201cI know it\u2019s hard, Peter,\u201d she\u2019d said. \u201cBut if you could contain your erudition and ready wit for just a little while we\u2019d be most grateful.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAm I allowed to be cheeky?\u201d I\u2019d asked. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo you\u2019re fucking not,\u201d said Seawoll.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Though he does occasionally know when to be properly afraid.<\/p>\n

You always have to be careful around legal aid solicitors because not only do they spend more time in police interview rooms than you do, they\u2019re also usually in a really bad mood because their clients are idiots and because the government is always cutting the legal aid budget.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although the story didn’t quite feel up to the others, the snark was entirely on point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas there anything about Ada Lovelace?\u201d I asked. <\/p>\n

Nightingale gave me a funny look. \u201cByron\u2019s daughter?\u201d he asked. \u201cI\u2019m not sure I understand the connection.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cShe worked with Babbage on the difference engine,\u201d I said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn what capacity?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a famously gifted mathematician,\u201d I said. Who I mostly knew about from reading Steampunk, but I wasn\u2019t going to mention that. \u201cGenerally considered to have written the first true computer program.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
