(>Test the man's skills) Even ghosts aren't yet departed

The Detective sniffs and regards you. It's clearly an effort, lifting himself above the honey haze. But as he takes you in, his back straightens, his eyes narrow, and he [i]looks[/i].

"Why, Madam, it's not difficult to get the measure of you." The Detective leans back in his rocking-chair. "You live in some old attic room, no doubt." He gestures vaguely at your clothing, as if that explains it.

He turns his attention to your hands. "You have no work, at the moment. Perhaps that's why you have come here."

He creaks forward in the chair. "Well, you're certainly perspicacious, if you've found me. In any case, I am pleased to make your acquaintance."
