24.4.11













The countryside was an inferno, the Dutch were nuzzling the shores, + a suspended dagger swung loosely a meter above the king’s head as he lay down to sleep.

"Get that rabble of a cat out of this room. He stares at me while I’m asleep and messes with my dreams.”

Why he, a harmless necessary cat.

“Nevertheless. Remove him, or I’ll do it from here.”
