ex) Victor, a private detective, leaned against his window and looked out. ‘Surely no other place on earth is more proud of its beauty than Venice,’ he thought watching its spires and domes. Whistling a tune, Victor walked over to his large mirror. Just the weather for trying out his new disguise, he thought, as the sun warmed the back of his sturdy neck. He had bought this new treasure only the previous day: an enormous mustache, so dark and bushy that it would have made any self‑respecting walrus extremely jealous. He stuck it carefully under his nose and stood on his toes to make himself taller. He became so fascinated by his reflection that he only heard the footsteps on the stairs when they stopped outside his door. ‘Clients. Blast! Why are they bothering me now of all times?’ With a deep sigh he sat behind his desk. He heard voices whispering outside his door.
