Yes, Dr. Watson, of course, sir! Ah... I'll do my best, anyway.

Oh, no, sir, don't worry about me! I quite enjoy reading and filing paperwork and things. I find it soothing. Silly, isn't it? But I suppose that makes this an ideal sort of situation for me. If this is only a few evenings a week, it certainly shouldn't be any problem - I promise I'll let you know immediately if it does.

I suspect you'll want someone to at least serve ad your daytime secretary, and probably to take payments as well? I'm not sure if there's anyone I know of who's looking for a job like that right now, but I'll be sure to mention it around and perhaps we can find someone to help when I can't. If that's all right with you, of course.

I'll come by after hours tomorrow evening, then?
