[location: lobby of the Kelebek, to start]
He had a picnic hamper. It was quite a pretty thing, Long thought with abstract appreciation for the aesthetics: the traditional woven basket with two hinged lids, with a blue-and-white checked cloth peeping out neatly folded. It was a pleasing combination of colors, the cornflower blue and the starched white and the pale yellow of the wicker. Very Edouard Manet, he thought. Or perhaps Antonio Garcia y Mencia.
The scents rising from the hamper were fairly appealing. Long made his way down the stairs to the lobby of his hotel. He was wearing a heavy coat against the chill, even if the Northern Zone itself had seemed freer of winter than the city proper. Also tucked within the hamper he had a notebook, and pencils. For the purposes of cataloging.
In the lobby he looked around for Holmes.
