My tea kettle has died.
I first realized that something was wrong about a week ago - as water reached a boil the whistle began by sputtering before going into a slightly lower tone than before. I inspected the stained top and the mottled bottom, but found no cracks or oddities. In the same [...]

They were brought here to counterfeit English pound notes. Which seems especially relevant considering your group’s occupation.
