“The Dance of Life. 1923 CHAPTER NINETEEN The twenty minutes that passed as Hammond waited for his colleague felt like an age. Hammond was uncomfortable, he wished he had brought his crutches to lean on, but he couldn’t risk leaving his hiding place so resorted to gritting his teeth and accepting his discomfort like the man he wanted to be. He leaned against the wall of the next house and kept checking to see if the car was there. The driver hadn’t moved from their position. Occasionally car lights would sweep past and cause Hammond to step further back into the passage once he had checked it wasn’t Edwards.
