I suppose it's not commonplace in my line of work to receive an invitation from a future client. And every honest craftsman would take an person like that for a snitch, a madman, or an fraud. So to say I took Sir Talbot, an up and coming factor with an orderly home, devoted wife, and a clean pair of hands for all three, well, would be no overstatement.
Yet when he spread the word in the right kind of places that he was looking for the services of a professional, the price was high enough to turn my head. It's not my style to just stand up and introduce myself to a suspicious character, but I asked some questions and spent a few days observing Sir Talbot's home, near the local market, and now, I've got my own proposal to make.
I will give this Talbot character a demonstration of my talents, place my calling card in his bedroom, and leave undetected.
What's more, I intend to take a good look at those "clean pair of hands" to see if all those stories are indeed too good to be true. But hey, with the hands he will soon be shaking, what's a little dirt between us?
He might see it as blackmail. But me?
I'd rather think of it as collateral.
