"Seni pursed his lips."May I select men from the Emertland Guard?" he wondered."Everyone except Pernice Wort," Jorgarn said. "He will be a part of the...main force. Master Seni, please make your selections quickly so I may speak to them. This is strictly voluntary. No man will be forced to take part and no man will be looked down upon for declining. That includes you. I approached you to lead the advance force because of your reputation and because of the work you've done in training exercises..

This wasn't good."Matty. I just feel so bad. I would give anything, if there wasanyway that. He said:"Mr. Mason, my name is Jason Doggie, and I am an insurance investigatorfor the Camberwell Life Insurance Company. I have been looking into theterrible accident in which you were so horribly injured." Surely, the payment to the family of Martin Rathbone - the other driver,who was killed in the accident - has been received and accepted by now!"I replied."That can't happen Mr. Mason, until you sign this statement in which youadmit you were driving drink and are, therefore, responsible for.
