Falls Ende

It was dusk when he rode up to large house owned by the prosperous merchant and friend of Bishop Laninga in the town of Schiffdorf, about five miles from Geestendorf. A young servant girl answered the door and he politely introduced himself and asked to speak with Antonius Richter. She looked uncertain and nervous and seemed reluctant to disturb her master.
