"Now if you'll excuse me..." Tumplin was only doing her job, see? And they were making it rather difficult. There were many more portraits to collect. Did they see all the portraits?
"Actually, Miss, I can. Excuse me." She hurried her pace, treating the portraits less kindly and simply snatching them off the wall and dropping them into her bag. She just wanted to get it over with, get out of here, and stop being interrogated.
Jory stared.
"How could this possibly be your job?'' Jory asked and not caring at all that the Goblin looked at him with like he was botheration or something. Because he didn't mind being bothersome.
Jory looked around. There was that ministry man. Erik Vinteren, if he recalled correctly.
"Er... Professor?'' he called uncertainly. The man was just leaning against the wall and not attempting to stop the goblin.
"Can't you do something?''
