Not in the least, sir. Just trying to get a handle on the practicalities. If they want the work done, it helps to know as much as they've told you.
Housing: I suppose the children would stay in the dead miners' quarters.
Have they apparated the corpses out from under the tunnel rockfall yet? I'm thinking of the spread of disease. Children would be more vulnerable to that, and it wouldn't do Sparkwell much good to bring in new workers if a high proportion falls ill. Then they'd have to bring in yet more new workers and train them again.
Oh well, if you don't know, I'm sure I can find out tomorrow. I'll firecall South Hams and tell them to expect me at eight in the morning sharp. That's a half hour before they sign off on the regular shift roster, so I'll be able to look over the prospects before they scatter to their ordinary shifts.
