I didn&#8217;t know what he was talking about, nor did I care. I was just glad to be free of that bathtub, where the ghostly viscount had to remain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t get on the boat, of course,&#8221; he called out. &#8220;But I have made travel arrangements. It&#8217;s not the most pleasant way to take a trip. It <em>feels like I&#8217;m being eaten<\/em> by a flock of <em>blue velvet throw pillows<\/em> while their shepherd stands there <em>wearing a pink ski jacket<\/em> and playing some bullshit game on his phone. And that&#8217;s business class! Anyway,&#8221; his voice still rang out to me even as the Tessabot dragged me farther and farther down the pier, &#8220;my paperwork came through for a transfer to <em>a phonebooth in Denver<\/em>.&#8221; After a pause, he added, &#8220;I guess you won&#8217;t get there by boat either. Well, good luck!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tessa halted next to a ten-meter sailboat. I couldn&#8217;t see its name, but its skipper was lounging on the foredeck in a speedo and a nautical Nehru jacket. Tessa elbowed me in the ribs and gesticulated with her face until I caught on that she wanted me to do the talking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can we get a ride?&#8221; I asked the languid captain.<\/p>\n<p>He shot me a disapproving glance. He said in a gruff voice, &#8220;Anybody asks me that, I <em>make him play beatnik bongos<\/em>.
