Interesting. Investing in the London Leeches?

Although I am admittedly not as avid a sports fan as many, I must say that investing in anything with a monkier as lethargic as The Leeches hardly sounds like a solid business strategy.

How are you, Mr. Morsus? It has been some time since our last encounter meeting.

Certainly, but if I do decide on following through - a name change with complete reformation shall be in order.

I am well, Ms. Burke, thank you for your concerned inquiry. And you? I trust you are doing just as well?

Prudent, no doubt. I imagine your guiding hand will up the market value of the team within days.

Yes, thank you. Work keeps me occupied, and, though it has its own myriad frustrations, is rewarding enough even for a cynical soul like myself.

Ah, the not-so-subtle flattery, which could have been considered an outright mockery, had I been feeling especially paranoiac tonight. Which is not the case, of course.

Pleased to hear your work is going well. At least, provides for a few laughs here and there?

Montague Morsus

Private to M.M.

Oh, hardly flattery; Certainly, it was not mockery. I'm afraid that I truly do believe in your entrepreneurial abilities, and would hardly be surprised if the Leeches, ahem, flourished under your financial leadership.

What is amusing to some is weighty to others, Mr. Morsus, and I am afraid that, in this instance, we fall into two separate categories.

But then, I forget myself. How is Arcadia faring of late?
