[There might be more ambition behind Barty's conviction - he is still his father's son after all. (Much as he'd like to deny it.) He wants to be the best, the only servant that matters in his Lord's eyes and he doesn't shy away from any challenges or sacrifices that might bring. Willing to do anything his Lord wants and willing to do all that is necessary to ensure him a space near the top.
That is a very fortunate thing. Although Barty couldn't tell whether his own cruelty is fired by his sadism or if said sadism is simply a result of his admiration for the Dark Lord.]
Your husband? If he asks that, just tell him that I'm more capable of pleasing you than he is.
[Would you look at that double-entendre? How did that end up here?]
