He was too tired to stand up anymore, so he collapsed back down into his marked spot on the couch.
"It's within my power to get things more - equal - I suppose. But the Minister himself put the plans into the Great Hall. The money wasn't there to supply every Tom, Greg, and Joe with the best. I'm sure you understand that."
"I do, indeed." Will nodded.
"I will eat in here if it pleases your Lordship, despite my belief that it would be very good for the other boys to see you on a regular basis in the Great Hall. Of course, I defer to your wisdom." He bowed his head again slightly. At least the man hadn't let out any more gas with this pronouncement. The air was starting to smell less thick with the essence of Borr. And Oh! Good information.. The minister
himself was responsible for the inequality of house treatment? Will tucked that bit of knowledge away.
"As for the Minister, you're right-- I didn't realize it was on his orders that the situation was set up this way. Though of course I'm sure that a man of your Lordship's importance could... persuade him... to change the situation on behalf of the cream of the crop of all houses... if you were so inclined to be so generous."
