    Damn. I haven't played it well then.

    I just said that it is my company's policy not to provide references until an offer is made. Once the offer is made, I usually provide the previous agency details.

Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from a dodgy agent, are you, Agent XXXX? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed? Pure south Bavarian. What's your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the agencies found you … all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars … while you could only dream of getting out … getting anywhere … getting all the way to Amoria Bond.
