I like the choice to make mydear one word. It’s subtle, but adds a lot to this mystery man’s voice.

Hmm… interesting realization…

I agree with jesteram… “my dead”, “mahdear” or “muhdear” would have been so un-classic British Bad Guy of him. “mydear” perfectly wrapped up what kind of villain he’ll be. Any day now, he’ll be looking for a remote volcanic island he can buy and carve his head into the side of.

Perfect start to a story. This guy seems like a brilliant kind of villian.

shoot… we need some villains or else it wouldn’t be fun. We’d have nothing to talk about.

Great end for what could have been a regular sleazy bar scene.

Great ending.
