Knight Edition
““Sir, I’m afraid we have an intruder.”
“I suppose you should call the police, then,” Master Navarro said, turning the next page of the ancient book he read without pausing.
Inigo shifted from one foot to the other, knowing he should do exactly as the Master had suggested, but their trespasser piqued Inigo’s interest.

Inigo sighed his relief. While he wasn’t exactly sure what the Master would do if he were ever annoyed, Inigo hoped never to incite that emotion in his employer. He knew instinctively, down to his toes, that he wouldn’t survive such an occurrence.MoreLess
