...never had to deal with before. He is a ne'er-do-well employee of London's National Art Gallery whose job security is insured by having endeared himself to the Chair of the Board. In order to get rid of Bean, the other board members vote to send him to America, passing him off as the art expert who will accompany the masterpiece "Whistler's Mother" to a museum in Los Angeles which has just purchased it.

I would then call the ne'er-do-well and urge him to send any collateral he had. Sometimes he sent stocks, and I would cashier them pronto. I wasn't looking for the best price. I wasn't even working for the client. I was working for my firm, which wanted the cash. Other times, I just sold the stuff and closed the accounts...
