->''Her nose for skeletons in people's closets helped her climb the ladder of success. Harrishee's method worked thusly: "Print my story, as is, or I tell everyone about your (mistress, criminal record, dealings with the mayor, fondness for boys)."\\
She didn't work exclusively for one paper, but had articles published in all of the important rags of the day. As the turn of the century came and went, she moved through a succession of vessels, building up her list of "contacts" until she even managed to debut in some foreign newspapers. No story was too lurid or sensational. As a former Servitor of Malphas, she delighted when her words drove groups toward mutual suspicion and violence.\\
Harrishee's biggest triumph came during World War I. She had worked hard to stir up America's fear of German immigrants, and finally published a series of "exposés" which resulted in hysteria, mass arrests of innocent citizens with Germanic ancestry, and two lynchings. The Boss smiled, and gave her a Knighthood.''
