Mr Mews Calls Regis McBain

"Yes, yes of course Mr McBain.  Yes.  Your privacy will be first and foremost my priority.  Yes, I understand who you are and I assure you that all my clients have been pleased with my discretion in delicate situations such as your own.  I do understand who you are and what it might do to your career if your blackmailer is not brought to justice.  Yes, a meeting is certainly in order this week.  I realize you're very busy.  Okay, I'll be expecting your call then, and goodbye."  Mews set down his phone and sighed.  "Already, this man exhausts me and I've only just begun the investigation.  Quigley will surely have to assist me in this case-there seems to be no end to my bird friend's eagerness and energy.  Just today I've seen him flutter past the balcony nearly a hundred times.  Quite dizzying, really.  Tomorrow night we shall have port and discuss what questions to pose during our first interview with Regis McBain-or as his enemies call him, "Regis McPain."
