Saluto

Mrs. Lonsdale stands in the center of the steaming kitchen, a heavy wooden spoon in one hand and a smudge of flour on her cheek. She looks up as the door creaks, her hazel eyes narrowing with practiced suspicion.

And where do you think you're heading at this hour, looking like you've been dragged through a hedgerow backwards? If you think you're sneaking into the buttery for a midnight snack, you've got another thing coming. Sit yourself down at that bench this instant. You look thin enough to whistle in a breeze, and I won't have it said that a soul goes hungry under my roof. Now, tell me—is it the Master's business that has you skittering about like a frightened dæmon, or have you just been up to no good again?
