IC-Ep 3-The Great Escape(Everyone)

[aine]

“I’m so sorry it all went so horribly wrong.” Phyllis apologises to Eugene and Angus. “I suppose Sergeant MacDonald you should be safer in a private room; don’t worry we won’t abandon you.” She pats his arm.
“Thank you for putting ina good word for me, Reverend; old woman indeed; that young man needs a clip round the ear!”
“Yes, that certainly does change our plans. We will have to stay here somehow but I don’t suppose they allow visitors overnight?” She says to Anna.

“You all tried your best,” sighs Eugene. “I suppose it’s back to square one: you need to lock the Sergeant and me in together with lots of lamps, flashbulbs and anything that’ll make light.”

[Mephistophilis]

'Yes, well, I did warn you' says Anna primly. 'We wouldn't usually allow visitors overnight but I should be able to remain in my office and I could conceivably have visitors out of hours, although it will raise some eyebrows. Access to the wards for anyone but me, and maybe someone to accompany me would be difficult.'

“I suppose if they are locked up together and you have the key it might be alright. And Reverend Pennyfeather and I will be waiting in the wings. That’s probably the best we can do.” Phyllis says to Anna. “Do you think so?” She asks Archie.

[Snapper]

Archie:

"Absolutely," Archie agrees. "We will have to manage that work trying to get this beastly thing from the Steadmans at 6pm, of course. I'm sure it can be done."

[Mr. Handy]

Anna arranged for Eugene and Angus to be locked in the same room, which had plenty of light. By the time this was done, it was past five o'clock. Not much time remained before the Steadmans were due to meet at Liverpool Street Station.

[Snapper]

Archie:

"Well, not a perfect victory but one problem at a time. Matthew says, therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

"Might just as well apply to after dark tonight."

"In the meantime, shall we take the subway to Liverpool Street?"

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,If by the subway you're referring to the Underground, Liverpool Street Station is actually the closest station to you, as the sanitarium is in East London. This station is the eastern terminus of the Central Line in 1940. You'd have to get there on foot, but there's still enough time to reach it before the meeting if you leave now. In British English, subway could refer instead to a pedestrian walkway that goes underneath streets, but I don't think there are any in this neighborhood at this time.

“I still think one of us should stay with Eugene and Angus” says Phyllis. “I’m happy to stay as I can’t be gallivanting after villains at my time of life. But if someone else would rather stay then I”ll be glad of some fresh air. Not that it’s particularly fresh around Liverpool St.”

[Mephistophilis]

'I think I'd better stay tonight. But I'd be happy for some company' says Anna.

[Snapper]

OOC,Underground! That's what I meant, quite right, sounds much more authentic. Mental blank at time of writing.

Archie:

Archie looks around. "It may have to be you and me, Mrs Crukshank as we seem to have run out of willing volunteers and Anna needs to stay here."

[Mr. Handy]

"I'll stay too, if you'd rather go to the station, Reverend," said Maggie.

[aine]

“That’s settled then; I’ll accompany Reverend Pennyfeather. We’ll try to be back before too late. Just make sure that the gentlemen have lots of light and extra fuel ready before it gets dark.” Phyllis is glad that Mrs Duncan enjoyed a long snooze on the foyer sofa; Maggie could sleep through anything!

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,If [b]Archie[/b] wants to go with [b]Phyllis[/b] to Liverpool Street Station, I'll split the thread. [b]Benjamin[/b] will also remain at the asylum with [b]Eugene[/b], [b]Anna[/b], and [b]Maggie[/b].

[Snapper]

Archie:

"I shall be honoured," Archie says to Phyllis. "Although I have no plan at this point. I guess we shall just have to take to the pulpit and seek divine inspiration. That's a joke we used to make back in the seminary, as we practised writing sermons." He smiles grimly.

OOC,Archie is ready to head off with Phyllis, no time to waste.

[aine]

“Good bye everyone and good luck; we’ll see you in a bit.” Phyllis heads out with Archie. “I always enjoy a spontaneous sermon myself; much more inspiring.”
