I just had an owl drop a letter on my head here in bed.
It was signed by Virgil Crispin, damn him, and it's a very official-looking document informing me that due to 'traitorous actions against the Protectorate on premises,' the Hope Emporium and all of its contents have been seized and my licence for doing business has been revoked.
I presume the twins will receive the same.
Oh, bugger. Bugger, bugger, bugger.

I hope someone sticks one of our fireworks in Virgil Crispin's arse and lights the fuse.

In the meantime, they can have our glass bottles and our supply of hops.

First they murder our children, and then they destroy their mourning families' livelihoods.
