In which Priscilla receives an apology.
It would appear that Shan did, in fact, have business with the famous Herr Sasoni; I’d been half-inclined to suspect him of throwing that in to achieve an effect on the magistrate, for all that we’ve been assured that it’s not like him to lie. Even so, I still suspect that the nature of the transaction was not what he allowed the magistrate to assume.
(Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I hope it wasn’t, given the implied nature of the assumed transaction and the fact that, like Rusty, I read an obvious implication in the quality of Shan’s apology to Priscilla.)
