Apothecary Melchior And the Ghost of Rataskaevu Street (2016)
“There was a queue of people in need snaking into the pharmacy, and they wanted their cures before the lunch-hour.
The attendant, however, marched straight in and up to Melchior, and after he’d whispered his message into the Apothecary’s ear Melchior decided immediately that pea soup tasted better when it had been standing for a while, and, right now, it was more important to go to the Council than care for the sick.
Dorn’s message had been brief and clear. ‘Cornelis de Wrede has been summoned t...o the Council’s prison, and it would be worth while for Melchior to appear there also, in the name of St Victor.’ Melchior shut the pharmacy and ran down the street towards the Town Hall, turned the corner and stood panting in front of the door of the low stone building into which no townsman would ever go of his own free will. This was the Council’s prison, where they kept those whose guilt was still under investigation or whose punishment was restricted to one night spent in the cells.MoreLess
