Success

He's not quite indiscreet, but he does drop a few hints.

The Duchess' relationship with the cats of the city is... not quite clear, but she hears a great deal. Her secretary is a treasure-trove of secrets.

Rare Success

He's forgotten something

The secretary is on to your game of questions. He stands up abruptly, makes an excuse about finding a stone bucket, and leaves. Only a scrap of paper remains. But what a scrap...


Failure

He shuts his mouth like the lid of a box.

Perhaps he'll be more talkative another time.
