Krumpets With Medici Conspiracy's Peter WatsonThe Carlyle Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side was the designated meeting spot, in the bar made famous by Ludwig Bemelmans' mural of Manhattan, Carlyle's very own Euphronios masterpiece. Bemelmans' was packed at 5:30, and I ran into US News & World Report publisher Mort Zuckerman, who was happy to see me thinking I was his date. Medici Conspiracy author, Peter Watson, arrived soon after. And Peter and I settled in at a table beside one of Bemelman's bankers on the wall.Watson's wife, a pretty, petite woman, who works as a "business getter" for Christie's auction house giving lunches and dinners for customers, also stopped by briefly to say hello. But it was far too noisy to talk about antiquities conspiracy at length, so Peter and I agreed to meet for tea later in the week a bit further down Madison Avenue at the Lowell Hotel.
