*Van der Mullen frowns, but compared to his usual scowl, it's rather pleasant*
Hello Cora. *he says rather warmly* Miss... *to Maggie, and he stiffens, but only slightly*
*he turns to Alex, completely unsure of what to make of him* Sir... I don't believe we've met... Alex is it? I am Dr. Johannes Van der Mullen. *he doesn't offer a hand*

*Maggie sighs inwardly at Van der Mullen's curt greeting, glancing toward the door once his attention is drawn by Alex. She's half tempted to just go back, but she doesn't want to be rude*

:::Cora smiles, not noticing how strange the atmosphere has just gotten. She's far too happy to have so much company. She stands:::
Can I get anyone anything from the bar?

*Van der Mullen doesn't neglect to show his obvious contempt for the subject matter*
Gladly, Sir, if you will forgive my frequent and spontaneous bursts of laughter.
*he turns to Cora* Might I trouble you for a brandy?

Would you rather I get drinks for everyone, Cora?
*Alex addresses Van der Mullen again*
I'm a lawyer, Doctor. I can forgive a great deal easily.

*Maggie shakes her head at Cora's offer for a drink, then frowns at Van der Mullens reaction to Alex* . . Laughter? Why would ye laugh at such an important matter?

:::Cora waves Alex away, smiling:::
This is MY home... :::And she walks over the bar. She fetches a bottle of wine, and two glasses. She sets them aside then pours brandy into an actual brandy glass this time. She's obviously read up on it:::
:::She returned to the table and handed glasses out respectively:::

Thank you. *Van der Mullen accepts the glass and eases himself into his seat. He assesses Maggie thoughtfully* Miss, what is your name?

Miss Dowling.... I confess, we started off on the wrong foot. The fault is somewhat mine. *he sips his brandy* Please understand I'm not used to dealing with someone of your... situation.
Nevertheless, I am not a petty man. I believe that all men are essentially created equal, and that they may be taught to think for themselves....
That is, if they see religion for the sham it is.
