Well, what’s your name?
“Auban, mon seigneur”
Aye. And from whence do you hail?
“Auvergne”
Alright, alright, that’s a fine place this time of season. How many years have you lived?
“I’ve seen 19 winters, sir”
Got it. Your ethnicity, good man? I can’t make it out.
The man would look puzzled before answering “Auvergnais”
Mmm. I never would have expected it. Are you literate?
“Yessir”
Good, that won’t hurt you. Do you have a wife at home, or children?
“No, no”
They call Sixtus the Third ‘the Lewd’ for having two bastards. Don’t be like him. Have you got anything against taking oaths?
“I’ve no contempt for oaths, especially those made before and for the benefit of GOD”
You’re all set. I’ll have this filed away to the Prelate at once. He’s up the mountain inside Varoche Palace. Short trip.
