Full Fury
“On the way back I phoned Freer.
‘How’d it go?’ ‘A wash-out,’ he said. ‘He’s a fast mover, this Finn. It’d gone.’ ‘The intervening walls were knocked down, were they?’ ‘Yes. It was a good guess.’ ‘How’d he explain it?’ ‘Said that by using the end doors they could get six cars in, where they’d only got four before.’ ‘He’s clever, ain’t he?’ I said enquiringly.
‘He’s clever. But there’s one thing—they had to dump it. We picked it up with only four crates missing.’ ‘Not quite a complete los...s, then?’ He conceded the point. ‘But I’m not sure you’ll be popular round there.’ I told him I already wasn’t.
‘So I’d keep away, if I were you.’ ‘He owes me a drink.’ ‘How come?’ ‘He’s got four crates out of it.’ Freer thought that was amusing. I don’t know why. He said goodbye and see me again sometime.
