The Baker Street Translation
“He had told Lois to set up no appointments for him on the day that Laura returned from her shoot. Today was that day.
In fact, there should be nothing more on his desk than a follow-up to his call from last night to Mr. Liu’s hotel. The old gentleman had been out; probably to take in a show, as he had said. But Reggie had left a message, and with luck he might easily wrap the whole thing up in a day. A brief word with the translator’s overly picky employer would take care of it.
Reggie stopped ...at his secretary’s desk before going into his chambers office.
“Good morning, sir,” said Lois, cheerily. It had not been possible to keep her in the dark about his plans today; she knew something was up.
“Good morning, Lois. My calendar is still clear?”
“Yes, sir. Pretty much for the entire week.” She giggled slightly, then stifled it.
“And the other preparations?”
“Everything is set up. The caterer will return at the top of the hour.”
“Brilliant.”
