Binscombe Tales - The Complete Series - Plot & Excerpts
He pointed them out to me, after we had been introduced and Mr Disvan had confirmed my Binscombe security clearance. Sure enough, I saw that there were two strangers in the bar, solitary watchful individuals who come quietly in and blended into the background. One was a Japanese man with a frighteningly neutral stare. The other was a slim, American-looking girl (how had I failed to notice her?) in leather trousers. ‘They’re the very best,’ said Reggie proudly. I tore my gaze away: ‘What, the trousers? Expensive are they...?’ Reggie gave me a very sharp look and frowned. I was very impressed and instantly eager to say the right thing. I began to understand how he’d become so obviously rich. ‘Oh... you mean the bodyguards. Well, yes, I can well believe it. I mean, you’ve only got to look at them...’ Mr Disvan came to my rescue. ‘Mr Oakley misunderstood you, Reggie,’ he said. ‘Bodyguards are hardly a common phenomenon round here, as you, of all people should know.’ Reggie Suntan accepted the rebuke cheerfully, his previous displeasure quite forgotten.
