	A week passes quickly despite the limitations of your duties. William is an affible companion and pleasent; when not talking about your exploits he has you read to him, occasionally Wilde but also his favorites, Blake and Gothe. Despite his dramatic claims early on, William's recovery seems to progress at a more normal pace, his wounds slowly closing up with less exhaustion and even joining the family for supper some recent nights. However Lord Kellar's mood has darkened progressivly, unable to find his 'bear'. Being a man of strong and intelligent bearing he manages to refrain from taking it out on you and his wife, but you still can hear his bitter curses most regularly aimed at a camp of gypsies that have camped in the nearby woods.

A week passes quickly despite the limitations of your duties. William is an affible companion and pleasent; when not talking about your exploits he has you read to him, occasionally Wilde but also his favorites, Blake and Gothe. Despite his dramatic claims early on, William's recovery seems to progress at a more normal pace, his wounds slowly closing up with less exhaustion and even joining the family for supper some recent nights. However Lord Kellar's mood has darkened progressivly, unable to find his 'bear'. Being a man of strong and intelligent bearing he manages to refrain from taking it out on you and his wife, but you still can hear his bitter curses most regularly aimed at a camp of gypsies that have camped in the nearby woods.

As the sun set on Friday you were about to bid the evening to William when a banging and yelling came from the door. Going down stairs you find Lord Kellar limping through the front door supported by his huntsman. He speaks in loud angry tones and you can tell it has something to do with the Gypsy camp...

"...stepped into one of their damnable traps! I will not let this stand, those beggers are leaving tonight if I have to drive them out myself! I've worked and prayed on this spot of Earth and I'll be struck blind if I'll let it be polluted by these cursed scavengers!"

Looking up the stairs he sees you and his eyes light up.

"Anastasia, I need your help love...I've had it with these gypsies living in the South Dell, I'm going to force them to leave tonight. It's an unpleasent duty I know but I'll feel better if you are there to help me, I need every gun I can get..."

You think quickly; this looks bad. Part of you feels a need to stay with William, he's had a relapse which has required your attention more than most days. However while you don't think Lord Kellar is quite abusive enough to do anything rash he has gotten worse over the last few days and being nearby when he vacates the gypsies might keep him from getting too out of hand...

*[[William's illness is more important; leave Kellar to his gypsies.]]
*[[Lord Kellar needs you more now; not to mention the gypsies...]]
