Chores of a Destructive Nature

Interesting how the birds flutter together when under threat as I heard minxie had all her little vacant friends over for a gathering and how I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that house. While the birds were twittering I was busy making plans for their mates for there were so many loose ends to tie up that I had to organise myself into action. First of all I required a certain Cameo Larsen to be removed from my ear, she had provided me with information about her clients and now was under the impression we were comrades in gossip. I required some distance fast so I called up Caspar and urged him to do his duty, Caspar fussed a bit, I think because he was upset that I had brought Alex back to destroy Simon and then dispatched him before Caspar had time to play. In the end he reluctantly agreed to occupy Cameo and his assumption he had a choice amused me to no end.

The next was a temporary removal of my cousin Elyce, she could not be allowed to vent her spleen upon the town, and it was not only unseemly but also antithesis of the Dubois way of operating. We understand the virtue of subtle humiliation and to never reveal our intent, Elyce was late in learning this lesson and needed perhaps a trifle more severe discipline than either my sister or I had endured. I had called my friend Lynx, whose career was due entirely to my good graces and I told her exactly what I wished for her to do and unlike Caspar she was only too happy to cause havoc as she appears to take the happiness of another as a personal affront.

After I had arranged these few little items I then had the fun of turning up at the Vanderhag’s to comfort her over her husband’s indiscretion with my sister, whom I blamed entirely for this affair. I did enjoy saying such lovely things as my sister’s state of mind was questionable which pacified the hag wonderfully as she was more into losing face with my sister than the actual loss of her husband. Her fluffy daughter slunk around attempting to keep out of my sight however I did manage a few moments of torment before she fled to minxie’s. I have a little plan in the back of my mind for that one, it all depends on minx and her reactions to my suggestions. That minx has been the ruin of many a poor person, without even being conscious of it.
