The fellow out in the hallway is dapper, almost dandified, in a neat and well-tailored pinstripe suit and hat, his raincoat spattered with rain.  He looks maybe mid-thirties at the latest, although there's a touch of grey at his temples.<br/><br/>Oh, and he's Asian.<br/><br/>"Good day, sir.  Am I addressing Mister Bloom or Mister Colt?"<br/><br/>Faintly English accent, upper-class, maybe Oxford.<br/><br/>"There is a mutually beneficial business arrangement which might be discussed, if you and your partner are not terribly busy or otherwise retained.  Might I enter?"
