“It’s all this… Madness, going on in the city,” he admits, when you ask after him, before adding: “and closer to home.”
You are surprised at the lack of tact, even if the man did lower his voice, but when you hear the shriek from inside—the voice of Lady Miriam Vaz, from her father’s study, followed by his own croaking bellow—you can understand why.
