Chapter One:
"Who are you?" The two women present clicked their tongues in irritation to the question. One of them wanted to know the answer, and the other could provide it. But it appeared the strange woman wearing the creamy white visiting dress wasn't inclined to answer Skinner's rather abrupt and rude question. Not yet, anyway.
She crossed her arms and raised and eyebrow. "Not very friendly, are we?" she asked, seemingly unaffected by Skinner's unique disposition.
Captain Nemo, an Indian sailor wearing silver decorated royal blue linen, stepped forward and bowed to her. "Forgive Skinner's forwardness," he said. "My name is Captain Nemo. What, may I ask, is yours?"
The woman examined the people before her. Nemo, she had just met. Mina, whom she had known for years, was a lovely woman who had known more evils in her life than she would care to admit. The typical English Gentleman, who must be Dr. Jekyll, waited for her to reply. "My name is Angela," she said. "And suffice it to say that I have been sent to the League to be its Guardian Angel."
"Guardian Angel?" Skinner repeated. "Did I miss something? Are we going to church?"
"No," Jekyll said. "There is a higher Order that watches over mankind. A Holy Order, if you will. Occasionally, they send people to others for protection. As Guardian Angels."
Angela nodded. "Perceptive, Dr. Jekyll," she said. "How is it you know of the Order?" Then she shook her head. "No, don't answer that; I already know." She smiled pleasantly. "Now then, shall we continue?"
