    Revin entered the manor, flanked by his security detail. They were conducted into a long dark hall. A single window let a shaft of light illuminate an emaciated figure in a wheelchair. The #frail, elderly man extended a bony arm. Revin reached forward & shook his hand, which was surprisingly firm.
    "Well met, Lord Deucecastle," he said, with a bow.
    He peered at Revin with bright, beady eyes.
    "So you're the Queen's Chief of Staff," he rasped. "I've had reports, but seeing is believing."

  3. They will not go. These leaves insist on staying.
    Coinage like theirs looked #Frail six weeks ago.

    #Leaves hung on against each swipe of #Storm,
    #Branches bent but still did not give way.

    Persistence of this #Nature sends the #Pulse
    Beating more rapidly. When will it end,

    That #Pride of leaves? When will the branches be
    Utterly #Bare, & seem like something else,
    Now half-#Forgotten, no part of a #Tree?
