  Ettienne St Clair turned to the two and smiled.  “Ashlar, Alessandra, I’m so pleased that you could join us.”  He crossed the distance between them, knowing that while Ash had met Buford before, his companion as yet had not.  “Alessandra Gaspare, I’m pleased to present the enigmatic Colonel Jeremiah Buford.
   
  Buford turned, allowing his profile to come fully into view.  A rather large man with skin like a pockmarked albino fish and lidless eyes like fried egg yolks, topped with a mustache of limp shreds of flesh that seemed to wiggle and move as he turned towards them, all stuffed into a perfectly tailored white suit.
   
  He paused, as much to brace himself for Lady Gaspare’s reaction as to give her a chance to collect herself once the full impact of his appearance hit her.  It took an iron will not to slightly blanch upon first meeting one of his clan, and Buford had yet to meet anyone with that kind of intestinal fortitude.
   
  A few seconds later, he followed St Clair to where Ashlar and Alessandra Gaspare stood, his cane mutely echoing his footsteps on the thick carpeting.  He removed his pipe and took her proffered hand in his, lightly kissing it the same way his mother taught him to do several lifetimes ago.  Through the English Cavendish he was smoking, he could taste roses and something else clinging to her hand that brought flashes of Moroccan markets and the apothecaries of Chinatown to mind.  “Lady Gaspare,” he said in a deep voice that rubbed everyone in the room like black velvet molasses, “I’m very pleased to meet you.”
