The Dark Lord's mood has improved slightly since the business with Selby. He has taken me into confidence, enough to tell me what it was that has been lost-- vague, perhaps, but I think I have some idea of the significance of it. I am confident that it will be retrieved, but it will be interesting to see when and by whom.
I have not been tasked with its retrieval. Yet though I gain his confidence, I am too junior yet to be given such a task, I think- though I shall do my best to raise his opinion of me. I have failed in nothing to which I have been set thus far, and am only anxious to expand the depth of my service.
