Baron Wilhelm is enjoying a glass of fine Frundsberg Apfelwein from an orchard near Sonnenbad..
Flunky: It's the chief auditor sire!
Wilhelm: Very good, send him in, it had better be serious at this time of evening.
Flunky: Von Trapp, sire.
Wilhelm: Well Von Trapp, what is the problem now? It's not electoral irregularities at this late hour is it?
Von Trapp: No sire, the votes are all counted and the boxes sealed, you will be re-elected tomorrow as usual.
Wilhelm: Excellent, so what is the problem?
Von Trapp: I regret that we have found another irregularity in the accounts, sire.
Wilhelm: Not the Stadtsbank!!
Von Trapp: of course not sire, our recent trading agreements have ensured adequate funds, even given the promissory notes drawn on dubious funds in Neue Frundsberg.
Wilhelm: So what has happened?
Von Trapp: It's the recruiting agents, they are out of control. I have found that in addition to the Hussars they have also recruited more dragoons than we have contracted to supply.
Wilhelm: Thank you for this information Von Trapp, please continue your vigilant auditing of the Stadt's affairs. It seems that I need to contact other rulers with an offer they may accept.
