Here Comes the Toff (2014)
“So far as he knew, there was not the slightest reason why he should have that feeling, and after he had pressed the bell for Jolly to bring his tea he lit a cigarette and browsed, going through the events of the previous day.
The main point had been McNab’s call.
Nothing else had been outstanding – but, on the other hand, there had been no major setbacks, and if results were slow in coming, that was no reason for him to assume that they would not come.
For some quite obscure reason ...he found himself wishing that he had been to see Phyllis Bailey.
“Which,” he assured himself, “is absurd. She plays no part in this. You’re getting to a period of wishful thinking, and that won’t help you or anyone. Come in, Jolly.”
Jolly entered, with the tea and papers.
The Toff read a variety of papers, from the stately Times to the yellowest of the yellow Press, and confessed a complete distrust of them all.MoreLess
