You see a man wearing a crisp white shirt holding a glass of whiskey.

"You must be Carlyle." Barnum states.

"Ah. Barnum and Miss..." he holds his gaze. Looking at you up and down.

"Poole. Miss Poole." Barnum calls.

They grab a sheet of paper and start arguing over percentages of the cost.

Then Barnum gets up and starts to sing.

"Right here, right now. I put the offer out. I don't want to chase you down, I know you see it..."

You watch song. Carlyle joins in. Man, he can sing!

He sees you watching him and winks, causing you to blush uncontrollably.

"Miss Poole. We have found my new protégé. Mr Carlyle. He will receive 10% of the show."

You nod and follow him outside.

He smiled at you and bids you goodnight.

New protégé, Hazel will lap him up.
