Horst Cabal has left Adstringendum - for those who weren't aware.
[The reality of it hadn't set in until that morning.]
Perhaps the rest of you will believe me now when I tell you what a worthless waste of a body he was.
[Private to Jack:]
Do you still have that gun? I'd rather like to shoot something right now.

[A pause.] I'm sorry about Horst.

[His voice is clipped, irritated, like a cat that's been rubbed too hard the wrong way.]
I'd like to borrow the gun. I won't waste more than a bullet or two.

Mr. Horst.... At least now he will not be sad over the loss of Miss Alice, I suppose, but....
[She blinks, though, at the man's next words.]
I would hardly call him useless, good sir. What about the school he created? That is not useless. And the care with which he looked after Miss Alice?

[Grumpy. He's just irritable and grumpy.]

To learn something new is never pointless. Even if it will only be remembered whilst one is here.
