Amusing, to say the least. Very amusing.
Clever tricks and clever ploys.

One question: Who is in charge?
I'd like a word with them.

Planning a hostile takeover already?
I can't say I'm surprised.

[clandestined]

I've just arrived.
It would hardly be hostile.

[herrin]

It might be the politest takeover they've ever seen.
Over before they know it.

As it happens, I've just arrived myself.
I was going to blame you for my current position.

[clandestined]

I'd be a horrible guest if it wasn't anything but polite.

Why blame me? If I were to send you here,
I would not be in my right mind to follow.

[herrin]

It would be very un-English of you. Us, rather.

You did try to kill me. That was rather impolite.
As you have pointed out, I no longer think this is your fault.

[clandestined]

All in the name of national security.

[herrin]

In the name of your family, you mean.

[clandestined]

Same thing.

[herrin]

Only incidentally.

Do you believe that was what he wanted?
My death to restore his pride?

[clandestined]

I'm not one to deduce what Sherlock Holmes wants.

[herrin]

You tried, regardless.

[clandestined]

And look how everything turned out, hm?

[herrin]

Not how you expected, did it?

It must be maddening, to be so subverted.
