[Sodium_noir] Hell is Other People

[Eric]

Dr. Lazarus, Sanura Sesostris
  Lady Sinclaire's Mansion
  
    ..."Sandra Scoland. It is an honor to finally meet you. Your  reputation in the field of egyptology is almost legendary. I have been a fan of your  research for sometime now... since your days with Dr. Tweaksbury as a  matter of fact.  I was hoping to see you at the museum at some point, but  it seems good fortune smiled upon me and brought you here instead."

  Hiram gave a more genuine smile as he grabbed at a flute of  champagne  from a passing tray, nearly spilling it all before the server stopped,  looking rather annoyed. After the man bent to allow Hiram better access  to the  tray, Hiram took two glasses and handed it to 'Sandra'.
  
    "I'm nowhere near as good as Reg was," he said, reffering to  his late mentor, Dr. Tewkesbury, "he's the reason I have so much to work  with." He too a sip of his champagne. "So tell me, Sandra, are you in the  field as well?"
  
  "Yes, I am," she says. "I work  more as a broker though. An independant consultant for individuals and  private companies if you will.  Appraisals, import/export  transactions, intermediary representation and the like.  I've had  the privelage of being present on one or two archeology digs, but I  enjoy learning the history more than I do digging in the dirt," she  smiles.
  
  "How did you and Dr. Tweaksbury meet?  It's one thing to read  about the man, but it's another to hear about him from someone who got  to work so closely with him.  What was he like?"
  
  (To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man's TAG, one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.)
