"Coney Island, aye." Bert nodded, recognizing the name. "Haven't been, but I know of the place. The boardwalk and all. Keep meaning to give it a look one of these days. I like the old churches, though, the cathedrals. Looking at them. I'm not a Christian, but they're familiar - the stone and the colored glass and the bigness of'em. And they don't cost anything to poke around in!"

Bert pushed himself up to his feet and offered a hand to Eddie.

"Come on. I wot you could use a proper place to sit your ass and sommat to eat. Got both back home."
