"Permit me to introduce myself, sir.

I am George Odell-Carney.

It has given me great pleasure to serve you without knowing you.

In my catalogue of personalities you have posed intermittently as a demmed bounder, a deceived husband, a betrayed lover, a successful lover, and a lot of other things I can't just now recall.

Acting on the presumption that you might have been a friend in distress, I worked hard in your interest.
