M. le Duc Juan Ferawl don Alferwan, It has come to my attention that the task of drumming the finer points of bladesmanship into the wheezing greybeards and cross-eyed youths who attend 'le Souris' is once again open for applicants. The Promethean spark in all of us occasionally demands an outlet, so I must ask you to consider me for this appointment. You may observe my 'references' in various locations about Paris. Aragorn d'Passant of the Royal Marines, for example, can no doubt attest that my skills are at least adequate to this humble position. I await your convenience to discuss the matter further. Marin Moreau, Lt. Col., 69th Arquebusiers.
