Please
don
’
t
think
of
me
as
a
chauvinist
,
Mr
.
Kovacs
.
After
nearly
two
hundred
and
fifty
years
of
marriage
,
my
relationship
with
Miriam
is
more
politeness
than
anything
.
It
really
would
be
better
if
you
spoke
to
her
alone
.
"
"
I
understand
.
"
That
was
shaving
the
truth
a
bit
,
but
it
would
do
.
"
Would
you
care
for
a
drink
?
Something
alcoholic
?
"
"
No
thank
you
.
Just
some
fruit
juice
,
if
you
have
it
.
"
The
shakiness
associated
with
downloading
was
beginning
to
assert
itself
,
and
in
addition
there
was
an
unwelcome
scratchiness
in
my
feet
and
fingers
which
I
assumed
was
nicotine
dependency
.
Apart
from
the
odd
cigarette
bummed
from
Sarah
,
I
’
d
been
quit
for
the
last
two
sleeves
and
I
didn
’
t
want
to
have
to
break
the
habit
all
over
again
.
Alcohol
on
top
of
everything
would
finish
me
.
Bancroft
folded
his
hands
in
his
lap
.
"
Of
course
.
I
’
ll
have
some
brought
up
.
Now
,
where
would
you
like
to
begin
?
"
"
Maybe
we
should
start
with
your
expectations
.
I
don
’
t
know
what
Reileen
Kawahara
told
you
,
or
what
kind
of
profile
the
Envoy
Corps
has
here
on
Earth
,
but
don
’
t
expect
miracles
from
me
.
I
’
m
not
a
sorcerer
.
"
"
I
’
m
aware
of
that
.
I
have
read
the
Corps
literature
carefully
.
And
all
Reileen
Kawahara
told
me
was
that
you
were
reliable
,
if
a
trifle
fastidious
.
"
I
remembered
Kawahara
’
s
methods
,
and
my
reactions
to
them
.
Fastidious
.
Right
.
I
gave
him
the
standard
spiel
anyway
.
It
felt
funny
,
pitching
for
a
client
who
was
already
in
.
Felt
funny
to
play
down
what
I
could
do
,
as
well
.
The
criminal
community
isn
’
t
long
on
modesty
,
and
what
you
do
to
get
serious
backing
is
inflate
whatever
reputation
you
may
already
have
.
This
was
more
like
being
back
in
the
Corps
.
