[On the evening of the 24th, a package is delivered to Jopson and Stephen's home. It contains a pair of cuffs made of sturdy but well-padded leather, in the same rich brown hue as Stephen's collar. It also contains a note written in a careful, rounded cursive.]
Dear Lieutenant, Mr. Day,
I wish to convey my thanks for your allowing me to attend your recent event. You have a lovely home, and the party was splendid. The pair of you clearly have a bond that was a privilege to witness and facilitate. I hope this gift isn't too presumptuous; it's intended simply to be another tool you can make use of and enjoy together. Perhaps we will see each other again around the city sometime soon. I should like that very much.
[ Oh this is charming. Jopson does appreciate a handwritten correspondence in this digital age. He writes one back in return. ]
Dear Mr. Grant,
Mr. Day and I thoroughly enjoyed your attendance. You made a most excellent first impression on us both, such that you are again welcome in our home at your pleasure. Thank you most sincerely for the gift, we have already taken a moment to enjoy it. We hope to hear from you again soon.
Yours with Esteem, Lieutenant Thomas Jopson
