If someone will please tell me what key this is written in, I can identify the tonic. Is it a mojor or minor key? (This will draw out the musicians in the rabble.)

Methinks major at this point. Unless he didn't check the claymore (large, two-handed sword with down-swept guard) and tried to carry it through security.

In which case, it will be a minor key as Panache keeps company with a large, mean fellow named Spike at the local constabulary.
