Napoleon Solo sat at his customary corner table at the Mask Club. He had just finished up his meeting with Mr. Pennyfeather, the UNCLE head accountant. Napoleon was on his second glass of single malt scotch. He picked up the glass and tossed back the entire contents. Mark and April sat down, joining him at his table.

"Darling, that must have been quite a meeting" April smiled.

"I know Penny-pincher can be a challenge" Mark laughed "but you aren't supposed to quaff good scotch!"
