Tennant: What a beautiful view.
Tennant: I'll miss the fields and villages outside Paris, but a journey like this comes with its own thrills.
Tennant: And what does my dear, lustrous beauty think of it?
Eternity is still appreciating her newest addition—"The Merciful Maria."
Rare, dazzling, gaudy in its power, priceless in appearance, and acquired at nearly no cost.
Eternity: Don't expect too much of me for now, "Brette." A trip like this always leaves me sore and tired; I'm in no mood for it anymore.
Tennant: Have you taken a liking to that name? Shall I go by Madame Cosette a little longer for you?
Eternity: You know how I crave novelty, Ada—like that "Bloody Sunset" you treated me to.
Tennant: If it left you longing, we can plan another night out for drinks. But then, surely you knew it was only a raspberry cocktail?
Eternity: A lovely way to signal our little conspiracy. Memorable—fun even, wasn't it?
Eternity: Neither of us imagined we'd cross paths at that party with the same goal in mind.
Tennant: —But just look at the surprise we crafted together.
Eternity: This was truly an unbelievable gift, Ada.
Tennant: All I really paid was a few lies and some diamonds destined to turn back into charcoal. Truly you ought to be thanking our dear Mr. Longen.
Tennant: I'd call that a happy ending.
Eternity: Oh, don't forget one more small cost—my "Box from the South" stuffed with diamonds.
Tennant: Of course. A clever box and a handful of sparkling stones—perfect bait for that first taste of trust.
Tennant: And smashing the box—that was thrilling, unforgettable. I'll cherish this little performance of ours forever.
Eternity: It was a true stroke of brilliance to bring in that detective. Every single angle accounted for.
Eternity: That clipping may have exposed "Brette," but it let Tennant twist Fleming into believing an even deeper story.
Eternity: Though it does make me wonder—what became of the real Brette?
At last, Tennant shares her secret candy.
Tennant: The real Madame Cosette is still abroad, recovering from gastritis. She won't be returning to France for a long time.
Eternity: It was a risk, taking on a real name like that.
Tennant: I knew Fleming wouldn't argue the point.
Tennant: He still thinks we're building that factory.
Their laughter is carried on the wind down the French country road.
Eternity: You know what we're missing?
Eternity: Some sound techs, a camera perhaps, and a crew to cheer—"Heist successful!" Something we might broadcast to the world.
Eternity: You've won me over, Ada. Have you thought of our next move?
Tennant: If you'll join me, we can lay low together for a while.
Tennant: I know someone with a very special suitcase ...
