While his conversation with Rose had gone much better than he had anticipated, his business with her was not his only one. If anything, Borgin & Burke's was much more important to him even if it was less profitable. Were it not for the shop, he wouldn't have met most of his other clients. So when the second day in a row he had to turn away a suspiciously large number of 'new customers' that he'd never seen before, Marcus knew it was time to get out the special quill and summon Marietta to their meeting place.
He had arranged for her to meet him late, after the shop was closed and after her shift at the Ministry. He was in a bad mood, and lit a cigarette while he waited to try and calm his annoyance. It would do no good for him to get frustrated at Marietta. When she arrived he nodded towards the chair opposite him and exhaled a large puff of smoke.
