"Perhaps seeking the cause might help you find the culprit." He suggests. "Or perhaps not. I wish you good hunting."

"Thank you, sir. You've been most gracious." she rises, "I will take your words into account in my treatment of the fellow when I find him. This isn't the knowledge I wanted, but I fully admit it's possibly what I needed." She's not happy with coming up empty, but this man has been a polite, even good host, and that deserves gratitude." I hope you've gotten some knowledge that was useful in return, even if it was only my initial outlook"

"Please feel free to visit again. Lizbet speaks well of your hospitality."

"Lizbet's a joy," She says a smile slipping out, "And sharp as a tack. Please, If you see her before I do, tell her I hope she's doing well"

"I will certainly do so. Please pass my greetings on to the Baron as well, and let your mother know that I received the Thanksgiving pie she sent over, and it will be quite enjoyable for the Yule table."

"She's great isn't she?" Clear pride in her mom, "I'll pass those on, sir." And she nods, then withdraws, "Have a good day."

"A most pleasant Yule to you and yours." He passes on season's greetings, and as promised has hung the flyer up on the town hall community bulletin board.

She leaves, with more questions than answers, but she's grateful none the less.

So it is, that Caesar whose last name is long and hard to remember, wanders about Carthage. THe apartment building he's looking at now? Seems.. tolerable.

He looks about, makes inquiries, and yes, signs Autographs!

“Mister Carolos!” A lady fan waves! She remembers his name- of course.

"Hey there" He smiles

She offers a poster from one of his fights. “Can you make it out to ‘Diane’, please?”

"Sure... anything else besides that on it?" Quite willing

“My biggest fan?”

He grins, "Why not?" And he writes on it To Diane, my biggest fan.-Caesar!

She barely surpresses a squeal! “What brings you to Carthage?”

"Well, I got a little Rumble in Rome... so before hitting there I'd thought I'd look around here for some real estate"

"Not for me, just trying to help some down and outs get some reasonable rent"
