Extract
The man awaiting me was tall, with regular, aristocratic features and a commanding air. He was pale, with dark hair worn longer than is the custom in our country and piercing gray eyes; his hand enclosed mine in a grip of iron.
"Arthur Sedgwick, at your service," I introduced myself.
"Tamarlane Gundar," he said, revealing long white teeth in what I belatedly realized was a friendly smile.
"Gundar!" I said, trying to cover my confusion with humor. "That is a name to conjure with, surely."
"I assure you, Master Sedgwick, it is mine by right," he said, frowning.
