Just found something odd when reading Fair Blows the Wind. Page 211 in the LT edition. Tatton is talking to Jacob Binns about investing in shipping.
"very well. Whom do I see?" He wrote a name on a slip of paper. "This woman." Then after a paragraph where Jacob tells how a woman is the owner of ships Tatton says this. "Her name?" "Delahay. Emma Delahay."
Why did he ask her name when Jacob had just given him a slip of paper with her name on it?
