Keldar has already been sidling back out into the street, but he suddenly turns on his heel and strides back to the desk.
"Now, now, this won't do. If we didn't bring back the book, it would be nothing short of thievery, exactly the sort of thing we don't approve of."
"You seem, forgive me, a little disheartened about this whole Urton business. Perhaps a little bored. Are there many unsolved crimes in Fallon? Or are none of them more interesting than attempted bribery? Why, it was only a day or two ago - perhaps you heard? - that the piratical crew of the infamous Jamella Githiel was brought in to face justice by none other than... er, a dashingly handsome young fellow whose name escapes me. That should raise the spirits of any upholder of the law!"
"Now, then, what would Rolli ask if she were here?" Keldar muses. "Who was the official? Why did Urton think he was the man to bribe? Where was Urton's home? Who owns it now? Which are the nearest taverns to it? Did Urton work as an architect here? Did he draw up plans for any rich clients? Have any of them ever been robbed? Are any of his associates known? Things like that."
"With the answers to a few of those questions, and a good look at this book, we'll soon track Urton down, or my name's not... important."
