Private message to Lucius Malfoy

[alt_percy]

Here's a brightener at the end of the week: Mr Crispin let me know by owl that a few pointed visits from various people was all it took to satisfactorily convey the message to Zonko's in Hogsmeade.

He is quite sure you will be pleased with the results. (More pleased than Mr Zonko, perhaps, but if he mixes with undesirable elements, that's his lookout.)

If I may say so, sir, I do admire Mr Crispin's efficiency.
