“But, no, our problem isn’t about who will replace him. That’s been taken care of.’ Though Ravanello clearly meant this as a pause before he got to the real business of the bank’s concern, Brunetti asked, ‘And who replaced him?’ Ravanello looked up, surprised by the question. ‘I have, as I was Assistant Director. But, as I said, this is not the reason for the bank’s concern.’ To the best of Brunetti’s knowledge - and experience had never interfered to prove him wrong - the only reason for a bank’s concern about anything was how much money it made or lost.
He smiled a curious smile and asked, ‘And what is that, Signor Ravanello?’ ‘The scandal. The awful scandal.
You know how discreet we have to be, bankers, you know how careful.’ Brunetti knew they couldn’t be seen in a casino, couldn’t write a bad cheque, or they could be fired, but these hardly seemed onerous demands to place upon someone who, after all, had in trust the money of other people.
