To my shame, I was summoned once again to Wolf Hall. His Lordship asked for an update on the matter of the caretaker. I could only honestly reply that I had not, as yet, taken up the matter.
He was very cross with me. I could not argue.
“I am told that you… picnicked on the green?” I admitted that it was true.
“I will summon my Inspector and ask him to look into this mystery at the cemetery, since the Royal Confessor has no time for such matters.”
It stung, hearing these words. I promised that I would delve further into the murder of the caretaker forthwith.
“Do no disappoint me again, Pieter.”
I am not sure how I have allowed things to come to this state. I must make amends.
