He was not lying when he professed to be adept at hiding. Hn...a full search of the Underground yielded no clues. We will have to look elsewhere and double our efforts. Jolly, you have been very helpful. I appreciate it.

Once this is over, I would very much like to take you up on your offer of tea, Princess.

Then I hope for quick justice, Constable.

I do wish you luck in your endeavor, and I'm glad Jolly has been of help..he's a very bright young man.

He is. I would have been able to search the entire Underground without his insight and assistance.

He's taken quite a shining to you. Worry as I might, I am sure he can take care of himself.

Be sure you take care as well.

[modern_truths]

At any rate, I would not let anything happen to him, especially in dealing with a case like this.

I'll try.

Thank you...as long as he comes home in one piece. I try not to limit him.

Good.
