‘Number 5 Britt Lane.’
‘Ho!’ said Richards, amused. ‘ I’d pay him to do them?’
‘Why?’
‘That bastard is never pleased. There’s no hanky-panky about this, is there?’
‘Neither hanky, nor panky. Nothing is going to be abstracted from the house, and nothing upset. I’ll go bail for that. Indeed, if it will make you any happier, I’ll put the contract in writing.’
‘I’ll take your word for it, sir. And your man can have the privilege of doing Mr Flipping Lloyd’s windows for nothing.’ He lifted his mug. ‘Here’s to the old eyes-right. What time will your pupil be coming along tomorrow?’
‘Ten o’clock do?’
‘Make it half-past. Your valentine goes out most mornings about eleven.’
‘That’s very thoughtful of you.’
‘I’ll get my early windows done and meet him at my place—3 Britt Mews—at half-past ten.’
