"Please tell the Marquis that he's welcome to come to Tadfield Manor. I have an easy job that he'll like, I think, and that work will pay for his room and board. I accept his offer of a favour and he'll be safe here. He can show up anytime."
Adam put a hand into his pocket and pulled out a handful of bird seed. Holding it up to the pigeon, he said, "Can you remember all of that, girl?"
