I promised the madame to work on creating the philosopher’s stone. It is an alchemical item that creates gold from any material. I think I will start with experiments on normal rocks. |

I have been sent on a mission by my friend Pierre. Have I mentioned he is the minister of foreign affairs? Anyway, we are going to Holland to sell state bonds. |

The mission was a success. All the bonds are sold. Pierre will be pleased. But I want my ladies to be pleased too, so let’s go shopping for silk and pearls. Bonds don’t interest the ladies. |

I am throwing a welcome back party for myself. Every French mademoiselle loves gelato. So I must have the cold boxes full. Please take a fast trip back to Venice for this sweet treat. |

You are back, captain! I need a passage out of the country. The loan sharks are after me. The money is so quick to disappear when you have so many lady-friends. Let’s go! |

Thank you. You have been a great help, captain. Farewell. |
