He was wondering just how much of the money would have been used in medical expenses and how much he could expect to be recompensed for finding the residue. Political campaigns were always in need of funds. There was another election due in six months and he very much wanted to be in charge of the prefecture, maybe, with sufficient funds at his disposal, he could present himself as a philanthropist and gain the votes of the people.

Maybe if the populace thought he was concerned with the welfare of the lepers they would be impressed. Many of them would have relatives who were suffering and it would hearten them to know they had voted for a man who had promised to alleviate some of their misery. He called to Louisa to come and sit with him and told her of his idea. She shrugged as he tentatively put the outline of his plan before her.
