In it, you offer several pieces of strategic advice that would increase Her Majesty's prospects in the region. When you have done so, the Manager casts a glance at his Secretary, who nods.

-> A magician's house is expect to have certain peculiarities, but the most peculiar feature of [[GentlemenWizard Mr Norrell]]'s house was, without a doubt, [[HyperCompetentSidekick Childermass]]. In no other household in London was there any servant like him. One day he might be observed removing a dirty cup and wiping crumbs from a table like a common footman. The next day he would interrupt a room full of admirals, generals and noblemen to tell them in what particulars he considered them mistaken. Mr Norrell had once publicly reprimanded the Duke of Devonshire for speaking at the same time as Childermass.
