"Let me get that." Jac says handing the old woman a small piece object, 
"Sian, my card."

As she looks at it, Mira sees that is is a small rectangular card made 
from a thick paper stock.

The old woman's expression changes from friendly, but shrewd, to almost 
reverence, "Oh, Lord JaCarter! It will be my pleasure to have the item 
shipped to your friend's ship."

Bowing she backs away taking the clock and starting to wrap it, "Yes, my 
lord. I'll see to it immediately."
