If we have lost in Justin and Tessa...
:44:09
two valued friends;
:44:12
the diplomatic community
has lost a true gentleman-
:44:17
courteous; self-effacing;
:44:22
large ofheart.
:44:25
That he chose to take his own life
in the same remote spot...
:44:30
where Tessa met her tragic death...
:44:34
is a sad reflection
ofhis tormented state of mind...
:44:38
but also typical ofhis discretion.
:44:44
He would not have had us troubled.
:44:48
He would not have had us inconvenienced.
:44:52
Nothing in his life became him...
:44:56
like the leaving it.
:45:09
I have, uh, chosen a text I know
Justin and Tessa would approve.
:45:15
It's an epistle.
Noncanonical.
:45:22
"My Dear Sandy:
Your na: I: Veté is beyond belief.
:45:27
"Knowing our arrangements
with KDH and ThreeBees,
:45:31
"you send me
this half-baked report...
:45:33
"by some bleeding heart
diplomatic wife and her black lover...
:45:37
"and ask me to take action.
:45:39
"The only action required,
apart from shredding the thing,
:45:43
"is to keep a tighter rein
on your resident harlot.
:45:47
"I want to know what she does;
where she goes; whom she meets.
:45:52
"The issue here is deniability.
:45:56
"If nobody told us
Dypraxa was causing deaths;
:45:59
"we can't be held responsible.
