The handwriting remains impeccable, but the tone of Havelock's next letter begins decidedly drier.
That cuts me to the quick, Duo.
I share your feelings on the use of the traditional counters to the undead, and regret to inform you that they were ineffective. We shall monitor the situation. I am already monitoring Lady Vialle as best I can, just in case such a situation as you mention might arise. If she communicates anything to you that seems amiss, please do let me know.
In any case, I passed on your concerns. (Without betraying your confidence so far as to show her.) You may already have heard back.
I hope to have more positive news for you in short order,
Marlowe
P.S. You know, taken to its logical conclusion, you have there the makings of a very profitable confidence racket. Make sure to point out the finer parts of why it worked to the children.
Cannot oblige there, sadly. Will see what can be done by less drastic means.
There is always that lasso of truth, if they ever find where it ended up.
