"I am. Gareth Scott. A pleasure to meet you."

He admired Mr. Dmitriev's strong hand only shortly before letting go and sitting down.

"Thank you." He filled up Miss Dmitriev's cup and then helped himself. Then he took his pencil and notebook. "Now Miss Dmitriev, I'll just ask some questions, but feel free to add topics that weren't mentioned that you feel are important to you. Will that do? Perhaps you could begin by saying something about what its like growing up in a performing family."
