Touché

1. The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine- Spoon

The Greek ambassador thrust forward and bowed curtly to the Count of
Monte Sano.
"My dear Count, could I interest you in the purchase of one our Ionian
planets. A remote planetary paradise surely holds appeal to one such
as yourself."
"Indeed," replied the Count thoughtfully, feigning intrigue as he
gazed into space.
"At times Paris is but a gilded cage, a remote hideaway could restore
my balance." And then the Count turned his gaze upon the Greek
ambassador, and he spoke in earnest,
"But it is not for me to tempt my fate with cavalier purchase.
However, I believe I can assist your noble cause."
"You can?" said the ambassador, a fazed look crossing his face.
"Why yes," said the Count.
"Have you heard of Paradox Shipping?"
The ambassador thought for a long moment and said nothing.
The Count smiled, "Not many people far from the Silk Path know of
Paradox Shipping. From time to time they conduct large transactions in
bars of pure gold. You see, they frown upon intricate financial
instruments and the fiat currencies of our galaxy."
The ambassador seemed wary of uncharted waters, but the allure of gold
cash rose like the sun, and so finally he asked, " How do I make
contact with Paradox Shipping?"
At this the Count turned away and gazed upon a young woman dressed
smartly as if she were a Turkish princess.
"I suggest you contact my fencing companion, a Monsieur Valentine."
