Random, old fellow,

Kindly let a person know when you’re going to be calling. I have absolutely no objection to your spending the night (or the day) on my sofa, but my cousin – you know, the one who recently got that little gold-plated neck ornament – asks awkward questions and makes awkward deductions. The subject of your precise rank came up. I had to say that you were just back from an offworld assignment, which fortunately he let pass without any further comment, but that’s not going to work a second time. If you’re not careful, he’s going to get curious, and that’s going to be the end of your maple mead supplies for the foreseeable future.

Worse still, my mother might find you. And then we’d both be in the soup.

Ivan

PS – dinner as usual on Saturday?

*snicker* What's worse than the Auditor? Ivan's Mother...

Indeed. I'd back her against a lot of Princes of Amber. :)

And they'd have Earned Every Last Bit Of It(TM)! :D

That they would!
