I glanced over at Agatha, and grinned. "Want another project to play with, now that we've got this lovely lady built? I was considering another vehicle that was made of wood..."
She raised an eyebrow at me. "Oh...what did you have in mind?"

He has a sideline in financial wizardry, and is often consulted by the Bank of Sol and Stellvia Corporation.
