My Lady,
I meant no offense or intrusion. All I know is that this afternoon a letter and a small package were delivered to my residence. On the face of the letter was written "Most Urgent, deliver by whatever means at hand". The letter instructed me to don my travelling clothes, to walk outside my home, and only then to open the small package that accompanied the letter.
I followed these directions, looked at the strange claw that I found in the package, felt dazed for a few minutes, and then I find myself in a carriage that has stopped by this very door.
I assumed that you were the person who had instructed me to appear here on this rainy night, although it was a gloriously sunny day just a few hours ago.
I am as perplexed as you are.
Since we appear to be as strangers to each other, permit me the indulgence of an introduction. You know my name, I am Charles Darwin, a naturalist and pigeon keeper by trade, just lately returned from a most amazing voyage of discovery aboard the "Beagle", of which you have no doubt heard.
Why yes, I did say "Beagle". Why are you so perplexed ?
