[Phryne has never been one quite so much for trinkets as for grandiosity. The dramatic, the sweeping; there's a reason her hats tend to have such wide brims and well-kept feathers, the better to make a statement as she enters and leaves. She's known for such things when it comes to fashion, but when it comes to things like home decor--]

[Well. People don't consider that quite as much, she's noticed. The placement of an imposing grandfather clock in the front hall is not, perhaps, considered as feminine as the arrangement of flowers in a vase on a tablecloth. But she likes it. A clock like this makes a statement. Sweeps without moving at all.]

[She's not alone, which is just as well. She prefers not to be. But in this case, she's especially curious. Her companion moves with a grace and confidence that most women are trained not to, a sense of self that's usually ground out.]


Very much so. [A beat, a breath, but barely.] Looking for a souvenir? [She can tell when someone's not from here; it's hard not to stand out in a place like Melbourne if you don't fit a very particular mold.]

you're damn right they are!!

Oh, well. It depends how you're traveling. But it isn't the safest bet, that's certain.

[There's a gleam in her eyes as she says it. Why take the safe bet? is what that gleam says, why bother, when there is so much more fun to be had in danger?]

[It's a very human attitude. But then, Phryne is the quintessence of willful, whimsical humanity. Her smile isn't spared, but thrown out with abandon and pleasure, even (especially) for beautiful strangers from places even she doesn't yet know.]


You like to admire, and you like to travel. That makes you a tourist, and . . . [She makes a show of examining Diana carefully, in not-quite-polite curiosity.] A scholar? An explorer? Both require some bravery, as well as some forward planning--the second reason being why I'd do terribly at either.

Oh, clever answer. Aren't we all students? --Diana.

[She, for herself, is always trying to learn. Perhaps she's been cocky in the past, perhaps she's cocky even now, but she's learned the benefit of an open mind. Life is full of the strange and mysterious.]

[She holds her white-gloved hand out to shake. Women don't shake, in these times. But Phryne shakes.]


Phryne Fisher. Do you know the story? [Of the name, she means.]
