Comments

[schattendiener]

Ah, I have occasionally been accused of being so, in the past.

[depraved]

You're a butler.

[schattendiener]

That is the profession I formerly belonged to, yes.

[depraved]

Your profession is not the kind marred with dangers. How did you die?

[schattendiener]

[ shrugs a bit ]

Perhaps an errant piece of cutlery did me in? Unfortunately, I do not recall my death.

[depraved]

... Perhaps.

[schattendiener]

I see no point in dwelling on it.

[depraved]

No, of course not.

[schattendiener]

Do you have any questions about this place? Much of it is rather obvious from observation, but . . . ?

[depraved]

No. Whatever I need, I have.

[schattendiener]

[ nods ] Well then, it was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. . . . ?

[depraved]

Holmes. Sherlock Holmes.

[schattendiener]

[ guess who reads lots of old literature ]

. . . Mr. Holmes, the consulting detective?

[depraved]

The same.

[schattendiener]

Ah, I've read of some of your cases.

[ there is a slight pause, before he continues] Forgive me, I've neglected to introduce myself. I am Isaak Fernand von Kämpfer.

[depraved]

All is forgiven. I've been updated on my ... status.

[schattendiener]

[ looks somewhat amused ] Hopefully by someone closer to your time. I'm afraid that I am over a thousand years removed and would not be able to comment on your status if I wished to. Some of the debates over authorship are fascinating, however.

[depraved]

I'm sure they are pointless as well.

[schattendiener]

Well, I cannot say that I've ever seen empires rise and fall on the merits of literary debate.

[depraved]

[ and you're certainly mysterious enough to know that much ]

I suppose empires should be given a bit more credit.

[schattendiener]

[ nothing but a simple butler here, Mr. Holmes ]

Some of them, at least.

[depraved]

Yes, well, can't give them too much credit.

[schattendiener]

Indeed not.

[depraved]

You're not just a butler at any rate. How old are you really? A thousand?

[schattendiener]

I am no more than four and fifty years. A thousand years is more than I will claim.
