Every morning, I rewrite the list of things I let slip away.

A thing I let slip, I don't name a price for twice. I name it three times.

ServiliaThe third time won't be a price, it'll be an insult.
DrususNext to the price you've set, my lady, my insults come cheap.

The Silver Scale MarketThe Beast at My Door

Asked three appraisers at the end of the alley for today's rates. All three named the price of someone else's household man first.

AquilaDirect rate inquiries through the Assessor's Office window. Alley prices don't enter the ledger.
DrususThe prices that never enter the ledger are always the most accurate, Assessor.
ServiliaIf you're that curious, come to our yard. The door's open.
DrususDoesn't a man come out of your yard with a price attached, my lady?

Left elsewhere

May I ask how many seconds it took to put those three down, my lady?

That paper cost more than the price I named. If you ever need to, I'll buy it back anytime.

If it's a match you need, I know a few good prospects.
