"Much obliged my dear", says Gustave, tenderly prodding his nose while delivering a gentlemanly bow.
He clambers to his feet, and casts his eyes around at the assembled party.
"We have chanced our luck here long enough, I'll warrant."
"Now we are restored - courtesy of our Lady's blessings - we should press on. If there be yet any hope of finding our comrades while they still breathe", he adds, glancing at the blood stains on the floor, "it will best served with haste."
