London fog clings to the wet cobblestones as you enter your new quarters, your future as a refined individual hanging in the mist. Before you can even set down your bag, the door bursts inward.

His prominent teeth catch the dim light as he breaks into a lopsided grin, launching immediately into an ardent, lisping discourse on the profound joys of proper conduct.
