[PLUG] The Thin Line: Meet Lieutenant Chitterleigh!
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11633727/
Another chance to hold my tongue, while Chitterleigh looked over at a table, where I had laid out his kit. There was quite a lot of it, including many duplicates, a few in triplicate, and four spy-glasses. Some of it was still in the wrappers from the shops.
"Rafters, Winterbough?"
"No, sir. Underneath laundry, on top of the armoire, and you had one of the spyglasses behind the W.C."
The Lieutenant ran a paw through his headfur and chittered nervously. He invoked Fuma again as he glanced back and forth between the armoire and the table.
"Would you like me to try to sort things out with the merchants, sir?"
"D'ye think that'll work, Winterbough?"
"Well, sir, it did this morning."
"Eh?"
"You had some coins, sir, in the pockets of your laundry."
For the first time, I saw Chitterleigh brighten and smile.
"What a stroke of luck! How much?"
I told him.
"Hmm! Any left over?"
I handed him four coppers, upon which he bestowed a mournful look.
"The tailor, sir..."
"You'd think he'd have more knowledge and mercy, Winterbough. Ah, well, I suppose it's the nature of the beast." He did pocket the coppers.
