Winger and Murphy talked it over during the drive.

“So he’s the foreign minister? Of the whole kingdom?”

“Last I heard.”

“And a baron?”

“Yes. One of the highest-ranking nobility in the kingdom, after the king and the king’s children, the crown prince and his sister.”

“So what the hell is he doing out here, in disguise?”

“That’s the interesting question I hope to ask him. I quietly let him know I knew who he was.”

“And he’s coming anyway?”

“Sure. No better place to hide out than a farm. No one there to recognize him.”

“Except you.”

“Yes, but I didn’t let on to anybody else, and he knows it.”

“Are you sure this isn’t dangerous?”

“Pretty sure. King James isn’t going to go around executing the nobility. That’s a sword that cuts both ways. And I don’t think it’s ever a bad idea to be friendly to the rich and powerful, which Schmitt-deVries definitely is. The big question is, What’s he doing out here? Sounds to me like he doesn’t want to be in Flower when the shoe drops.”

“What shoe?”

“That’s what I don’t know. But I suspect James is about to do something phenomenally stupid.”
