A priceless living treasure
The Count sat in his chair inside his office late that morning, waiting for his expected guest. His visitor was late, but he did not mind as long as he had news that would help him.
So far, after years of working with this man, he had yet to disappoint him. However, he was sad to know that the man would retire soon. It would be hard to find someone to replace him. He was excellent in his job.
"Sir." A knock on his door alerted him that his guest had arrived. He could not contain his excitement about his news.
Though what he had asked him to do had no relation to him or his family at the moment. He did not doubt that it might come in handy in the future when the time was right.
Facts, details, and knowledge, small or large, significant or not, would always be relevant when used at the proper time and place. They might seem worthless information, but if used correctly, they could become invaluable.
