I’ve been working furiously since my arrival, with few pauses for food or rest. The work I do is far too important for such petty concerns: let the base think only of their bellies. Of rutting and swill and wash. Dare to think on a larger scale, touched by the gods of mystery. May then see far beyond the veil of the unknown. Tantalizing glimpses of greater things, eh? (Great and terrible, perhaps? But undoubtedly necessary.)

My ingestion of silver at the last feast, eyes open? Shh, shut them, shut them, keep all those secrets. Those hints, those secret rumours of silver I’ve pursued over the years have teased. Tormented. What mockery, their elusiveness, their viciously cunning inscrutability (that’s admiration, that is), but now, now! Now I have found a rich, pure vein (many, many veins). Wealth beyond my wildest imaginings—in knowledge, you understand. Gross concerns of lucre are a matter of sheer indifference. Plenty of raw material allows the fullest extent of my artistic expression.

How satisfying to have an inexhaustible supply of ink!

Oh, Justine, how proud of me you must and will be.

(tidbit, I want you to get the blood out of the trousers I left draped over the chair at the foot of my bed. And bring me something, maybe a butcher’s apron, that’ll keep me from getting splashed again. See that you step lively about it, too.)

boot will see what he can find sir

ORDER ONLY

[alt_mcgonagall]

He grows progressively more mad - and yet he is also fairly coherent, this time, it seems. What a creature! I shall apply to Lucius again to try and unseat him. There is truly no reason why he should be given a professorship. The sister is bad enough.

If only you could get rid of him. Well, we wish you luck in trying.

But Arthur, what's all this about this mysterious Building Seven? It sounds entirely sinister.

Re: ORDER ONLY

[alt_arthur]

No idea whatsoever, Molly, but you're right: I certainly don't like the sound of it. Since he's working with Rookwood, it could be anything.

I may be able to find out a little more while I'm there tomorrow.

Re: ORDER ONLY

[alt_molly]

Well, be careful, and I hope you don't get into hot water by sniffing about! Getting the baby out of there is the important thing.

Re: ORDER ONLY

[alt_arthur]

Of course, Molly dear. Frank and I won't run any unnecessary risks.
