Your name is John Alvarez?
That is my name, sir.
An elderly man was seated at a table and a young man stood opposite to him. The elderly person was a well- known banker who had retired from business, and he had sent for the detective who had just entered his presence.
You are a detective?
I claim to be, sir.
The elderly man meditated a moment and then said:
A gentleman learning that I desired the services of a detective mentioned your name to me, and gave you a character for qualities which I think are specially needed in the service I may have for you.
