Oh, he has parlayed his association with me into an opportunity, all right. Fleet and Gibson offered him the supervision of the new Office for the Regulation of Commercial Enterprise. Since summer's reclamation projects, Gibson's had this in mind. I should have known when he suggested Crispin had talent in the field. And Fleet - asking me my opinion of him as a clerk! I'm a fool not to have made the connexion myself before now.
But according to Crispin, he's already stayed longer than they wanted and the Regulatory office anticipates an influx of applications and the need for inspection tours as we approach the holiday season. Thus, they require him as of 1st November to begin training. He has sworn to procure an interim assistant with at least a few days' transition and offered to consult his replacement once I have chosen a permanent clerk.
That does little to mollify me, however. It is intolerable to be expected to accept such short notice! And kindly do not tell me to get my head put back on straight by Ari; I believe I have every reason to react as I have done.
All right. I shall be late if I continue thus. Whoever else is running the course this afternoon had best be on guard.
