    Summary

    “It’s a letter to the Offices of State’s public communications box,” Rhodin said. “With an anecdote about the annual stipend.”

    “Is it?” Cliopher said. They got plenty of those letters, of course; usually reading and responding to them was the first-year secretaries’ job. “And it made its way to you?”

    “Well,” Rhodin said blithely, “it claims to be from Fitzroy Angursell, you see.”

    -

    In which Cliopher misses his Radiancy, distracts himself by starting a pseudonymous correspondence with Fitzroy Angursell, and develops an entirely academic and rational interest in determining which member of the Red Company is the friend that Fitzroy won’t stop talking about.

    “Oh,” I say airily, “I’m his secretary.”

    -

    In which Fitzroy goes undercover as Kip's secretary. For, you know, reasons. (Gremlin reasons.)
