“So Klinkell, everything seems to be in order” asked Count Vladislav, having noted his subordinates slight hesitance “was there anything else”

“Well sir there is still the matter of the boy Albert”

“Yes, just flog him thoroughly and sent him on his way. No wait, he might still be of use, is Pomfrit’s company still short of a drummer?”

“Yes sir”

“Not anymore, just make sure he is not allowed to move anywhere without his drum, it's better than a ball and chain and not so obvious. He could be useful if this Juli turns up again”

“Very good sir”
