This shop. Somewhere larger, someplace more alive - I'm all for quiet country locations, but this is a little excessive.

[corporatevalue]

What's stopping you?

[breathesdust]

Funnily enough big cities and towns don't find themselves largely in need of an antiques shop.

[corporatevalue]

Sure they do. You just have to show them.

[breathesdust]

I can barely keep myself afloat, so I haven't the funds to do something substantial - such as relocation - with my business.

[corporatevalue]

Have you tried to get investors?

[breathesdust]

Yes.

As you can see, it's gone well.

[corporatevalue]

That's a shame. [pause, hmm.]

So, where can I find this shop of yours?

[breathesdust]

What does it matter to you? [ Not said unkindly. ] You don't sound like the sort who takes interest in dusty little shops buried in the British countryside.

[corporatevalue]

You'd be surprised, then.

[breathesdust]

[ ... ] Why do you want to know?

[corporatevalue]

To pay it a visit? [arches an eyebrow.] Unless it's supposed to be some sort of invite-only antiques shop.

[breathesdust]

[ WELL. ]

[ Imagine this is an address. ]

[corporatevalue]

[slight smile. then he nods.] I'll make sure I keep it memorized.

[breathesdust]

Do what you please.

[ A small pause. ]

Magalie St. James. A pleasure to meet you, Mr...?
