But Sir, this was before we were formally introduced! At that time I would never have dreamed of making such an advance to the Laird of Cornwall prior to us first having made acquaintance through a mutual third party. Otherwise malicious intent may be suspected I would be chancing a slap across the face with a buckled glove and pistols at dawn. If the regiment found out I could be ostracized.

However now, having made your acquaintance and seen what a jolly fine chap and all round good egg you are, I would never insult you by visiting your fair island without making appointments for the exchange of fair talk, the clicking of mechanized shutter contraptions, a visit to Mrs Miggin’s pasty shop and the partaking of large quantities of alcoholic beverages. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant

I managed to stable the faithful steed for the duration on a piece of land a few streets behind the harbour by proffering a small amount of coinage to some chap (from the lower orders but a cheery soul nonetheless) employed for the purpose. Some local landowner maximizing financial reward from a piece of private land in a preferential location I’d hazard a guess.
