(Yesterday, a mistake in the information led to a lot of rewriting. This is to supplement last night's chapter.)
William Pitt Junior was lost in thought when he heard Grenville's attendant lightly knock on the door and say, "Prime Minister, Lord Duncan wishes to see you."
Lord Duncan was the commander of England's North Sea Fleet, ranked among the top five in the British Navy. His special visit to the Prime Minister surely meant something significant.
William Pitt Junior was about to leave, but Grenville had already loudly told the attendant, "Please let him in."
Duncan entered the room, glanced at William Pitt Junior first, then bowed to Grenville, "Prime Minister, I have some matters regarding the recent extensive failures within the Mediterranean Fleet that I'd like to discuss with you."
"There's no need for formality, please speak freely."
