Time does indeed fly when one is having fun, my darlings, and having seen the front and back of so many Wardens in the last few months, I am caught somewhere between amusement and disappointment. Romana and Vida showed so much more spark and determination than the others!

But what is this? A challenger appears! Renowned criminal, darling of his impassioned proteges, Monsieur Ben Wade! I could not have written a better scenario.

I do admit that I am curious, mon ami, even after our rather mild exchange the other day. Three saints could not contain me; I am eager to see what a devil thinks he can do.
