Hermione to get one especially trained in organizing the Mission will cost quite a bit, probably.

And I think I'll have to have a man for a Secretary. One that is quite presentable socially, you know. For the Secretary will have to attend to a lot of the details. I will give some teas and entertainments and things, just to get the Parasite Women I know interested.
