"When you grow up with the physical strength and endurance God gave a butterfly convincing people to do things for you is very useful." 

"We make our own way, as best we can."

"Yeah. And you and I are at least lucky in having decent assistance." 

"Our boys do make rather excellent accompaniments."

Giggle. "And pretty, too." 

"I do have a rather lovely face," Hiram agrees, dryly.

"I cannot deny it," she says, kissing Joseph on the cheek. 

She leans against her own love, smiling at him.

"It's been good, getting to work on this with you, though... Would you mind, dear, if I accompanied them? I should like to stretch my legs through this wide world, and I know travel is not always your heart's calling."

He leans back. "Of course. We may see each other often, still, and I suspect I will be of more use here. Find me a student, mayhap. It has been a long time since I have had someone to instruct."

"Certainly." And to Eliza and Joseph: "Would my company be acceptable to the two of you?"

"Certainly." 

Nod. 

"I will see about arranging money for the three of you, then," Emma says.

"Thank you." 

"Miskatonic... If you wish to stay the night in Boston on the way there, I might know someone with a vacant property. Boston might not also be a bad place to meet with people; it's nearby a decent number of places steeped in the occult, while being sufficiently large so as to be anonymous."

Thoughtful nod.

"Should you and I pretend to be related?" she asks Amity. "It might cut down on questions as to why the three of us were traveling together, and you don't currently look old enough to match my mental image of a paid chaperone." 

"We could pass as cousins perhaps, or even sisters, yes. Especially if you dyed your hair, which would assist in disguising your identity."

"You have a point. Even if I like my hair the way it is. Ah well, it'll grow out when it's safe." 

"Indeed. Do we wish to move soon? It might be best, to not have to dance around the servants here too long... And we can claim that I introduced Joseph to you, if you are to be my cousin, since I have been known in this area longer as his own cousin's wife."

"Yes...I don't mind hiding, much, but if it failed it would be rather inconvenient." 

"Though I expect my servants are enjoying all the vacation time," she says, wryly. "Certainly you should stay through tomorrow - tonight is too late to smuggle you out easily. But I'll contact my niece, Ruth. She was helpful with the first excavation, and can get you out of the city with none the wiser. Joseph and Amity might be better served leaving openly, in the day, to meet you elsewhere."

"Alright. I admit, the idea of travelling like this is rather exciting; I've never been able to before." 

"This world has many beautiful sights, as well. I always enjoyed traveling for my work. And I am equally excited to see how it has changed, since my death."

"At least when you died the Revolutionary War had already happened." 

"I didn't expect modern politics to be at all the same. And the war was not without its fore-warnings."
