Gently With the Innocents
“All Bressingham’s mental wrestling wouldn’t recall the provenance of the Latin, though he promised to give the matter no rest until he succeeded in tracking it down. Of his identification of the store-room he remained positive, but that, alas, was academic. Orgy-room or linen-closet, it offered no key to Gently’s problem. It was secure; probably it had no other connection with Peachment’s treasure.
Bressingham felt his failure. He smoked a last, despondent Manikin with Gently. From the glum exp...ression on his chubby face you might have thought he’d just lost on a deal.
‘Well, anyway, we’ve debunked the legend.’ His hands, like Gissing’s before him, were filthy. His neat bow-tie had got aslant and the tails of his muffler hung down to his knees.
‘And yet, I’d swear old Peachey was honest. Anything else doesn’t make sense. You just couldn’t picture him doing a job, especially a big one that needed planning.’ Gently grunted. That was certainly out! If Peachment had been a regular villain, the police would have known about him.MoreLess
