When you've done that, I want you down here again.

Put them little plants in smaller pots.

Makes them look bigger.

Look at that.

Yeah, I've got a book out. They have to be kept moist.

Well, put some cardboard down to soak it all up.

What's in this box?

Well, the diver's watches you got from Mickey Cox. Well, get them up over

Get them somewhere waterproof.

Well, this book range has to be kept warm as well. Shall I put the heating

Certainly not.

They're plants.

They're used to living outside.

At the mercy of the elements.

Survive in the winter, dormant under the snow, ready to pop up in the spring.

Yeah, but some of these are from Africa.

Exactly. Where they have tornadoes and monsoons.

Roger. I don't know, Arthur.

I mean, I don't know anything about plants.

That's the beauty of it, Alan. You don't have to. You just pour water over them

and let Mother Nature do the rest.

But aren't you supposed to have greenhouses or something?

No, no, no.

That is a very popular misconception.

Now, you see, these are exhibition plants.

They're specially bred to survive sudden changes in temperature.

I mean, you'd be amazed at how draughty it can get in them exhibition halls.

People going in and out and leaving the doors open.

Pick, pick, though.

Take up a lot of space.

Well, it's a growth industry, isn't it?

I mean, you buy one for 30 quid, water it for a few weeks, watch your

grow. Do you know it is better than the post office?

30 quid.

Yeah, a rough average.

I mean, each one is assessed individually according to its size and

distribution.

And every single one carries a full, no quibble, lifetime guarantee.

A lifetime guarantee?

For the lifetime of the plant in question.

I know you're not willing to go.

Don't worry.

Can I get back to you in a few minutes?

Louis, an unexpected pleasure.

Thank you, Roger.

Drink? No.

I'm looking for Lorna. Pity. She left not ten minutes ago.

Now, before you go, sit.

I have something for you.

I'm afraid it's more than the last time.

She's had a very bad run.

And you stood by and watched while she lost this?

What could I do?

You know the business, Lewis.

God, you were in it for long enough.

If their credit's good.

You should come in more often, Lewis.

Make the most of it.

Because there'll be no more.

Has young Raymond been in?

No, Arthur.

Some bloke was here asking for you.

Said he'd be back later.

What sort of bloke?

Official looking.

Left a card.

The Vatman. That's all I need.

Is that bad?

Bad. The Vatman is to the entrepreneur what Ronnie Corbett is to sumo

Here, mate.

No, no, no, no. Tell him the green fly are all part of the ecosystem.

Yeah, they keep the caterpillars off.

I want you back at the lock -up within an hour. I may have another job for you.

Tell her.

Raymond's been held up, so I want you to take over his morning duties, Eric.

Right -o, Arthur.

I mean, I can still handle myself.

Indeed you can, Eric. That is a great comfort to me.

Meanwhile, I want you to make some collections for me.

Now... Only speak to the people I've written down there and always go round

back. What is that old collection in, Arthur? You just find those people and

they'll sort you out.

Right.

Whenever you're ready, Eric.

I'm ready when you are, Arthur.

No, no, I don't think you understand.

This is a one -man operation.

But all these places are up west.

I thought you'd be giving me a lift.

I've got to go to an important business meeting. You'll have to use the bus.

But... Sir, show me what you can do, Eric, and who knows where it may lead.

The Daily Group are always on the lookout for bright, new, fresh talent.

Ain't no more, Arthur.

Oh! Mind the step, Eric.

Good morning, my dear.

Good morning, sir.

I have an appointment with Mr Nelson.

I'm sorry, sir, but it's no smoking.

Are you a member?

Not as such, no, but I believe I am expected.

Oh, you'll find him over there, sir. He's working on his upper body.

Lewis. Arthur.

Thanks for coming.

Not at all. My pleasure.

Would you care to... No, no, no. It's a bit early for me. Well, you've got to

keep in shape, Arthur.

Regular exercise. You said it was important.

Yeah.

It's not like it was, is it, Arthur?

People today, they take liberties.

How true, Lewis. How true.

I'll blame the paperwork.

We never had all that paperwork in our day. Good firm handshake, that's all you

needed. That's exactly why I wanted to see you. Oh, yeah?

You saw me in my first car, remember?

Indeed I do.

Broke down on the East Ninja Dock Road, crossed a three -mile tail bank.

Austerity, Lewis.

You couldn't get the parts.

I'm looking for someone with a sense of values.

Moral fibre.

So what can I do for you?

I hear you've got a new boy.

Raymond. Teaching him all he knows.

Any good? Top -notch, Lewis, top -notch. Is he available?

Yeah, yeah, I think he is free at the moment.

Then I might have a job for him.

That you, Arthur?

Yeah.

Oi, you only just got back.

I couldn't help it. I had a bit of hassle getting the dog. What sort of

He said he thought the plant pots were included.

That's the trouble with everyone today. They all want something for nothing.

It's all right. I've got it in the end. Good boy.

Oi, Arthur, there's been a bloke in here for you.

Yeah, he hung around for a bit. Bloke?

Well, Mr Jenkins, VAT or something. He said he'd call back.

You didn't let him in here, did you? I didn't know who he was.

Exactly.

How many times have I told you you do not let anyone cross this threshold

without stating his business first?

I'm disappointed in you, Raymond.

I'm sorry, Arthur.

Do you want me to start on my collections?

No, no, no. I want you home, washed, changed, bags packed, back here in half

hour.

Oh, come on. I said I was sorry.

No, no, no. You're going to the country for a few days. Eh? I need someone I can

trust. Now get a move on. I want you back here no later than 11.

Right.

Who is this Lewis Nelson?

A very old friend, so I want you on your very best behaviour.

What's he do, though?

Oh, he started in rubbish, second -hand clothes.

He is a man whom it can truly be said he went from rags to riches.

Got a few clubs up west, got in with some very naughty people. That's when we

parted company.

And all I have to do is keep his old woman from the casino?

Raymond, this is Nelson to you.

And as for her weakness, think of your role as that of a financial consultant.

Stop her from gambling.

I'd impress on her the folly of playing games of Charles.

Especially with her husband's money.

Come on through, Arthur.

Phil kept the old place going, eh?

30 years this year. Well, it's good to have something solid behind you, isn't

that right, Arthur? Absolutely, Lewis, absolutely.

Lorne will join us when she's done the shopping. Oh, can I just introduce

Raymond? Good to meet you, Mr Nelson.

You've come very highly recommended, young man.

He's younger than I thought.

Don't be fooled by his boyish appearance. He's a venerable diamond.

I trust him with my life.

Family.

Sorry I'm late, Lewis.

Do you know I had to keep for half an hour to put love?

Arthur, I'd like you to meet my wife, Lorna.

How do you do? Hello.

This is...

Are you... Joe?

Who the hell are you?

Arthur sent me.

Where's Ray?

He's not coming.

I'm Arthur's new man.

We'll have to wait a minute. Come back in ten minutes. I'll leave him by the

bin.

Now, you behave yourself up here on your own. He'd live in that office if I

wasn't here.

Don't know why he doesn't let someone else do it. I'll be fine. I'll follow

down in a few days. Ray will take good care of you. Now, make sure you eat

properly. Now, that greasy mutt you think I don't know about.

Right, off you go.

Call me when you get there, all right?

Ever driven an ex -JS, Ray?

Now?

Now's your chance.

This is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Oh, Arthur, excuse me. I've got to make a quick phone call and then we'll have

lunch. I'm going to take you to somewhere very special.

Oh, right.

Okay. I thought I heard someone ring the bell.

And?

Well, there's no one there. Must be hearing things.

Go on then, back to work.

I'll have double eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, two slices of bread and butter

a mug of tea. Arthur?

Yeah, I'll have the same.

Just the one egg.

Yeah, smell that.

That's graft.

That is.

There's no smell like that anywhere in the world.

Bacon sarnies and mugs of tea.

Hey,

Tony, how are you?

See,

Arthur? I promised you something special. You did? You did.

Remember how we used to sit here every morning, meeting the lads from the

market? I must have done more deals here than back at the factory.

Great days, Lewis. Great days.

Well, it's having Lorna around that's made a difference.

She makes me feel young again.

It's like I could do it all over again.

Here, that lad. He'll take good care of her, eh? Oh, my lad will look after

Lorna, don't worry. Have no fear.

She's in very good hands.

Oh, figuratively speaking, of course. I'm sure she is. That's why I came to

Which reminds me.

Let's settle up with you. Oh, must you? Oh, well, you know best.

500 there.

Very generous. Ah, Maria.

Hope you enjoy your meal, boy.

on, Roger? Nothing. It's fine.

Yeah?

Boss, I think you'd better get in quick.

We've been hit.

They're wasting time.

Anyone who can get through this kind of security isn't about to leave their

fingerprints all over the place.

Whoever it was seemed to know their way around.

Talk to the staff. Find out what they know.

You talk to them.

What time do you call this?

They wouldn't let me on the bus.

I had to walk back.

It even cost me a quid for the trolley.

Be that as it may, I've been expecting you for hours.

Time is money, Eric. That is the first rule of business.

I think I'll just stick to washing cars, Arthur.

I'm happy it's washing cars.

I ain't got the head for big business.

No, probably not.

Did you get them all?

I went everywhere on the list.

Right. What do you like adding up?

Eh? Yeah.

No, look, stick them in the boot of my car.

I'll drop them off at Ray's flat. Give him something to do when he gets back.

Right, Arthur.

Get back to the car, like you've wasted enough time already.

Right, Arthur.

Do you want a drink?

Um, yeah.

Wine or something.

Red or white?

Whatever you got.

I'll have a red.

Oh, will you open it?

Sure.

I'll show you around in a minute.

I'll pick you up today.

It's OK, Dave. It's only me.

Are you all right, Arthur? No, Dave, I am not all right.

I've just had lunch at Daisy's diner.

I'll never be able to look an egg in the face again.

I thought she'd shut down.

Nah.

She was just doing the place up.

The good food guy threw a brick through the window.

Do us a VAT, Dave. Take the taste away.

I brought my own ingredients.

Yeah, yeah. Funny you should say that, Arthur. What?

I was a geezer in here, looking for you from customers and exiles.

Jenkins, his name was.

I'm being hounded, Dave.

Pursued round the manor like a common criminal.

Despicable, Arthur.

A respectable businessman like you.

Persecution. That is the only word for it.

I suppose you never thought about paying her.

I don't know what came over me. It's not as if I'm late.

A little bit overdue, perhaps, but not late.

Well, anyway, he did say he'd call back in half an hour.

Well, if he does, tell him I've gone away on business and you don't know how

reach me.

You've gone away, then? Yeah. I think I'll go to the country for a couple of

days, Dave.

Lie low for a bit.

Incommunicado.

Endly.

Go out for a while.

Out? Well, just for a while.

I'll go mad cooped up in here.

Yeah, don't see why not.

I thought perhaps we were going to town.

Town?

Well, just for a while.

What for?

No way.

But no one would know, and I am due for a win.

No. Besides, you promised me a game of cards, remember?

I thought you liked me.

I do.

Also like me job.

Ill joy.

I'd have to get drunk instead, then.

Or isn't that allowed, either?

Make yourself at home.

Sneaky. Look, I'm sorry, but you know I'm not supposed to let you out of my

sight. Can't blame me for trying.

No.

I think I'll have that drink after all.

Oh.

I'll get it.

What's up? Come on out there, the window.

If you're winding me up. No, really, I saw him.

Right, don't move.

Ah, Raymond.

What are you doing here?

Lorna.

Small token of my esteem.

I hope my boy's taking good care of you.

Well, um, yes, but what are you doing here?

All part of the service, my dear.

Spot check, as it were. Just making sure that everything's proceeding according

to plan.

Oh, how very convivial.

Oh, well, would you like a drink?

Oh, well, yeah, perhaps a small brandy to fight off the cold.

You never told me you were coming down.

Oh, that is the key to a spot check. The element of surprise.

That way you get a true picture of the situation.

Everything's fine.

Yes, she's great.

I hope you haven't succumbed to any unnatural urges, Raymond.

Oh, thank you very much.

What a very nice room.

Will you be staying?

Oh, no, no, no. I couldn't possibly impose.

Well, if you're sure.

Oh, well, if you put it like that.

Perhaps a recharging of the batteries, far from the maddening crowd, wouldn't

come amiss.

Thank you, Lorna.

Perhaps just for a day or two.

You're very good health.

What's the time?

Relax, will you?

It's shift ended at ten.

We'll be out in a minute.

Lewis had this bit built on just after we moved in. Oh, yes. Oh, nice table.

That's Lewis's game.

This is mine.

Please, your back, please, gentlemen.

14 red.

Oh, one again!

I can't believe it.

Did you tread on something in the way? No, no, Raymond, you're making a great

mistake if you think this is all chance. It's a game of strategy planning,

coordination of eye to hand, placing your tiddlywinks in accordance with the

ebbs and flows of the wheel, losing your ebb when all about are keeping theirs.

It does look like you're a natural, Mr Tiddly. Oh, Arthur, please.

And you're not the first person to point that out, Lorna. I have been known to

show a certain aptitude when mistakes are high.

So how much has he won, then?

Well, I can't.

£265 ,000.

A quarter of a million in tiddlywigs, Arthur. That must be a record.

Now, if you were paying for real, Arthur, you'd be a very rich man.

Wait!

That's it!

I might not be able to go to the casino, but Arthur can.

Me? Well, you could play for me.

No, no, no, absolutely not, Lorna.

I gave Lewis my word. I would protect you against yourself at all costs.

Oh, but it's brilliant.

I could stake you. We could split the winnings.

Um... And you'd still be keeping your word to Lewis because I'd be here with

Ray.

No, no, no. My word is my bond.

We shook hands.

50 -50. I thought right down the middle. And if you do as well as you've done

today, well... Just think about it.

And I would be using... Your money.

Arthur?

Are you sure about this, Arthur? Look, it's a purely financial arrangement

between two consenting adults.

And as Longer says, you being here with her fulfils our contract with Lewis.

Yeah, I suppose so. You've got to put your own bum on the seat of life, Ray.

The floor of the job centre is littered with missed opportunities.

Yes, Arthur.

Speaking of which, go to the car.

Something to keep you busy till I get back.

Eh?

Them playing cards you should have picked up this morning. Make them up in

packs. I've got a punt waiting for them.

How does it fit? Like a glove.

Lewis and I have the same physical attributes, the broad shoulders and the

slightly forward waist.

Good. Now, don't forget, you see, Pete's on the door. I've arranged for him to

sign you in, and everything is done by the system I've been working on. System?

All you have to do is follow it exactly, working the odds and evens.

Odds and... Look.

It's really simple.

All you have to do is write down from one to four in a line.

You bet five pounds on either odd or even. If you lose, you just add another

number to the end of the line, then you add up the first and last numbers, and

that gives you your next take.

Add the first?

Add the first?

No, never mind. It's all down here.

And, um, front door key?

Well, uh, all we need now is, um... Oh, yes.

A pound should do for a start.

Go get him, Arthur.

If his foot slips, I won't just break your legs.

It'll crush him.

I'll never leave. I told you I'd die if you had any money.

You've seen me.

Where's the money? What money?

Stop lying to me. I don't know. I don't know anything.

What do you think?

Maybe if I gave it another inch.

No, it's just frightened him, that's what the man said.

I'd say he was well frightened, wouldn't you?

I'm starting to lose my patience.

Now, where's the money?

I don't know, I swear!

So what were you doing in the alley?

I was dropping off a sack of cards. What cards?

Cards from the casino.

We're supposed to cut them up after they've been used.

Stop the punters getting hold of them.

I'm listening.

This bloke, he pays me for them.

Bundles them back in packs, sells them on.

This bloke's got a name, has he?

I've only met him once.

Sends one of his lads round.

His name!

I was selling cards to some bloke.

Had my money.

The man who's buying, who is he?

Some cheap chiseler.

Well, then find him!

Chips, please. Colour, sir?

Er, whatever.

Green? Er, yeah, fine.

Five pounds.

No, no, no, all of it.

Five pounds a chip, sir.

Very reasonable.

200. 300.

400.

500.

Money off the table.

Two's company.

No more bets now.

16 red.

I'm normally very lucky.

No more bets.

Maybe if you went on top this time.

Would you like anything?

Coffee? Yeah, I could have a coffee, please.

I'd like some mineral water, please.

Thank you, Miss B.

I suppose you think I took advantage of Arthur, don't you?

Sending him off to the casino.

Do you always get your own way in the end?

Mostly.

So what now?

Could be a long wait.

What did you have in mind?

On the other hand, he could lose and be back any minute.

True.

And you are a married woman.

Also true.

In which case, how about a game of cards?

You're wrong.

I've got some somewhere.

Don't worry.

I've bought me own.

What?

I think that'll be enough.

What's the deal?

Half I bought them. He hates to think I might get bored.

Well, come on, help me sort a pack out, and I'll challenge you a game of poker.

All right.

What do you want, red or blue?

Red. I should warn you, I am very good. Liz bought me.

You're kidding.

Oh, I wish I was. That's how this whole thing started.

And then he fell out with his partner at Lucky Jackson, and now he doesn't like

me to go in there any more.

Why not use a different casino?

I've got Carlos and I'll make.

Besides, he gives me unlimited credit.

No, and Lewis will pick up the tab, eh? I do win sometimes, you know.

32 red.

Money change.

No more bets, please.

£200.

Please.

Three down.

Next your bets, please.

No more bets now.

Two black.

It's not me.

Where have you been?

I nearly came looking for you. I've been fighting the forces of fortune, my son.

Shoot!

He's asleep.

Risking my all on the roll of the dice, the turn of the card.

So what happened?

Well... Oh, Arthur, you're back.

Yeah. How did you get on?

Well, I started slowly.

Familiarising myself with the opposition, so to speak. Lulling them

of false security, you know.

And then, wallop, I hit them with my masterstroke.

And?

925 quid.

Arthur! That is £212 .50p profit each, my dear. I worked it out in the car.

Oh, of course.

Oh, don't worry. I took the liberty of deducting my wedge in transit.

Oh, and did you stick to my system?

Oh, your system? Oh, yes.

Yes. I had to modify it slightly, you know.

Adapt it a bit to counterbalance changing fortunes.

400 quid, eh?

Not bad for a night's work. Just a start.

There's no stopping us now, Arthur.

Did you find him? Not exactly, no.

So? We know where he is.

He's well known around the manor.

What are you waiting for, then?

Well, he's an old mate of yours.

Old mate of mine?

Yeah.

Half a daily.

I think if we double the date tonight, or... Morning.

Morning, Ray.

Even treble it, maybe.

We can really start turning the screw.

We will be continuing with our original agreement.

Of course, Arthur, we're partners.

Now, if we increase the stake and maybe even switch from odds and even to reds

and blacks... Here's the relationship.

That's the table, right?

What's this notice?

Now, you have your chips, the money chips.

You take one of the chips and you throw it with the money.

What, is that a card game?

Arthur?

98 ,400 pounds.

And all from Lucky Jack's casino.

Eric must have picked it up by mistake.

By mistake?

Well, can you see Irksome Eric carrying out a Daring Casino robbery single

-handed?

No, you're right.

Shall I phone Carlo?

No.

No, no.

We could be implicated.

No, no, a little thought, a little planning is necessary.

I mean, delicate negotiations could be involved here.

Well, we can't... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but neither can we walk in

slam it down on the desk.

I mean, questions would be asked.

Yeah, maybe there's a reward on offer for it.

That's a very good point, Raymond.

No, no, I don't think we should be rushed into showing our hand too soon. I

think we must consider all our options.

But we will be taking it back.

Longer. That is my number one priority.

Hi, Dave.

Lewis Nelson.

Ah, I see your memory's what it was, Dave. I never forgets a face.

What can I get you?

Oh, nothing, thanks.

No, I'm looking for someone.

Oh, yeah?

Arthur Daly.

He's still drinking?

Down again.

By expecting him in today?

Difficult to say. I mean, you know Arthur.

Oh, yeah.

So, uh, you don't know where I might find him?

Well, not Arthur, I know.

Can I give him a message?

He's got something that belongs to me.

Bag.

What sort of a bag?

Oh, he'll know it when he sees it. Only... I'd like it back.

Right. If I sees him, I'll tell him.

You do that, Dave.

Place is looking good, Dave.

Yes, well, a little older, you know.

You won't forget to tell Arthur, will you?

No, no, of course not.

Good man.

I might send someone round later.

See if he's turned up.

No, you're sure you know what you're doing? I'll just make a few discreet

inquiries, find out exactly what we're up against. You've still got the system?

All up here. And remember, if they offer a reward, make sure you get it in

writing first.

You've got a very untrusting nature, this boy.

And don't forget red and black. Leave it to me, Lorna.

Don't wait up.

you're in there, Daly.

Open this door.

Hold it right there, mister.

Everything all right, Roger?

Good house tonight.

I should get back some of the losses from the robbery.

The insurance will do that.

Where's Joe?

Found him sick.

Well, you got enough cover?

Oh, yeah.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

Did you like working for Arthur?

I've learnt more from him than I ever did at school.

He's certainly different.

He's better, right?

I mean, I know he pulled a few strokes. Who doesn't?

Do you know where you stand with him?

Do you pull a few strokes, Ray?

Hello, Dave.

Is Arthur there?

No, he's not here at the moment, mate.

Lewis Nelson's been here.

Do you know him?

Yeah, I know him.

Well, I didn't think nothing of it at the time.

There's another geezer here now.

He reckons Arthur's got a bag belonging to him.

Will he be back soon? I'll tell him.

Do you want me to say anything?

No, you just sit tight, Dave. I'll call you back later, right?

Ray, there is something else.

It's Eric.

Down a locker.

Well, he clobbered a VAT man over the air with a potty plant and knocked him

cold. All right, I'll tell him that too.

All right, well, you take care, right?

And you, Dave.

Cheers. Right then. Bye.

Problem?

I don't know.

Did you tell Lewis about the money?

No, why?

How else would he know about it?

Well, how could I have done?

The bag.

What's going on?

The money's gone. Half a month for taking it.

But why?

Oh, come on, get your coat.

Place your bets, please.

17. Yes,

please.

Pay for bets, please.

No more bets, please.

Hi,

Ted. Hi.

What's going on on number five?

Zoom in on that punter, will you?

Never seen him before.

Hello, Pete.

Have you got a guest in tonight?

Old geezer.

Grey hair, dinner suit, smoking a cigar.

Check his name, will you?

Tim Black.

Change, sir?

No more bedding.

Chips, please.

What?

Oh, no, no, no. No problem.

Thanks, Pete.

22 black.

It's only a question of time, you know.

Whose nerve lasts the longest?

Two adversaries vying for the attention of Lady Luck.

£700. Place your bets, please.

Of course, it don't come to anyone, you know. You have to show a certain amount

of acumen.

A willingness to boldly go where no -one's gone before.

Yeah, I think she's telling me, definitely.

High numbers.

No more bets now.

Lewis, I think you better get down here.

You wait here.

Two reds.

No more reds.

What's you doing here?

Where's Lorna? She's downstairs.

What, here?

You're supposed to be protecting her against the perils of gambling, not

her the guided tour. Look, the money. It's Lewis Nelson's. He stole it from

here. You been drinking? No.

He did it to get all the money back that Lorna had lost.

Now he knows you've got it and he's on his way.

He's coming here.

You haven't lost it, have you?

You have.

What, all of it? No, no, listen. I was a victim of circumstance.

I think they've got a little red button under the wheel like they used to have

in the Wild West. Oh, come on. What?

Hang on, there's Luna.

No, no, no, leave her. We've done all we can.

We're supposed to be keeping her away from all this. Listen, your first

is my welfare. Make sure nobody bites the hand that feeds you. Come on.

Arthur?

Lewis.

I'm very surprised to see you here. You cut the flannel, Arthur. Where's the

money? I'm glad you said that. As a matter of fact, we were just on our way

to see you, weren't we, Raymond?

Yeah. See, young Ray has acquainted me with the facts, and I felt, as an old

trusted friend, it was my duty to step in and handle proceedings personally. I

want the money.

No, no, no, you don't. You only think you do.

Now, look, let's say you kept that money and you got caught, incarcerated as a

guest of Her Majesty.

What is going to happen to the lovely Lorna?

She's a young woman, Lewis.

She'd be fair game for every spotty Herbert from here to Peckham.

Now, I'm not saying she wouldn't remain yours faithfully, but a young woman

alone.

Which is why I took the only course of action open to me. I gave them the money

back.

No, no, no, don't thank me. This was no time to think about my welfare.

All I was thinking of was you and Lorna. Lorna?

Where is she?

She's upstairs.

No, no.

Powdering her nose.

She wanted to look her best for you.

She's in there.

I don't believe

it. I mean, I saw it, I heard it, but I don't believe it. Reasoned argument, my

son. Something you do well to practise.

Prevent all those misunderstandings.

I will, Arthur.

So what now?

Back to work.

Back to providing goods and services for the capital's foot soldiers.

Do you know, I met a bloke in there tonight who's got a market garden on an

circular.

All in all, it's been a very satisfactory evening.

I mean, I've saved an old friend from the clutches of the old bill, rescued

marriage, not to mention returning the money to its rightful owner, and I've

sold nine dozen begonias into the bargain.

There is still one slight problem left.

Oh? Oh, yeah.
