Private message to Barty

Reassuring news from Rowle last night. The Treasury is still in our hands, though it would be prudent to assume it will be targeted.

Also, Rod is in. Though not without concessions.

That seemed a different time, when I married. And then, you're right, abruptly it was not.

She was pretty and she did dote. It wasn't unpleasant. Yet. I suspect it would have lost its charm. And I can't begin to imagine sprogs calling me anything. Expect I'd have made exactly as awful a father as mine did.

Consider that I've dodged more than one curse in the last fortnight. Marriage and family amongst them.

Believe you and Rod will make fine associates.

Almost everything loses its charm. Except the few things that don't.

Sitting behind a desk, for example, has lost its charm very quickly. When you've finished for the evening, find me in the Palace salle.

I'd like to get to the bottom of why you failed to kill my daughter the other night.

May be some time yet before I am able to set other things aside and join you.

I'll be there as soon as I can, however. Count on it.
