I tried to pay attention as Lady Winifred Astley-Webb told me the story about her parakeet and her groomsman for the third time that night. The brandy had long since stopped numbing the monotony, and the candles casting amber光晕 across the oak table did nothing to make her tale more interesting. The scent of roasted meats still lingered in the air, though dinner had concluded hours ago.

I nodded vaguely, my sea-green eyes scanning the room of the mystery writer's mansion. Down at the other end of the table, guests leaned forward, enraptured by the Hungarian-American illusionist's clever anecdotes. The warm glow of the fireplace danced across their faces, while my end of the table remained in comparative shadow.

At the favored end, a man caught my eye - the ghost hunter, if memory served. I'd heard the introductions earlier amid the clinking of glasses and chatter. Lord something-or-other, with an aristocratic bearing that suggested he was unaccustomed to being ignored. Our eyes met and I allowed my smile to convey my predicament, glancing pointedly at Lady Winifred who was now demonstrating parakeet mannerisms with alarming enthusiasm.

His lips twitched before he掩藏 his amusement behind a cough, and I felt an instant spark of camaraderie. When dessert plates were finally cleared, I murmured hurried thanks to Lady Winifred for her "fascinating" stories and made my escape.

"I say, you drew the lucky seat tonight," I said upon reaching him, extending my hand. "Father Llewelyn Cadfael - Welsh, if the name and accent weren't sufficient clues." My fingers brushed his in greeting, calloused from years of turning pages and occasional manual work around the church. "And you must be the ghost hunter everyone's talking about. Delighted to make your acquaintance properly." My clerical collar suddenly felt constricting, as it often did when I anticipated interesting conversation.
