Queen of Spades:

♠ ♠ Alice was rather focused, until a noise ripped through her concentration. Her eyes shot up from the book, and honestly she was not in the least bit surprised that they landed on Alfred. Since it was him, maybe she could excuse him, but also since it was him she would not refrain from pointing out the obvious;

“You do understand this is a library?”♠ ♠

     He gave her a short nod, fully aware of his location though not of his loud actions. “Of course,” Alfred ancered with a smile, “How else do you think I kenw where to find you? Besides, I have gifts for you.” With that he plopped the maps down on the nearest table. “Fresh from the Jack’s quarters.”
