Murder On High Holborn
“They had taken over one of the smaller and more private chambers, where Jones held forth in a sibilant whisper. His words were received with eager appreciation by the others, except Atkinson and Ursula, who sat apart, knees touching under the table.

As he had been eavesdropping all morning, Chaloner d...ecided a little more would not go amiss. He walked outside and identified the window of the conspirators’ room. A cart stood nearby, and no one took any notice as he rolled it forward to provide a crude but effective screen while he crouched down to listen. The Sanhedrin really were rank amateurs, he thought in disgust, unimpressed that they should plot next to a window with badly fitting panes. Not only was he able to hear with perfect clarity, but he could see them, too.
‘…almost ready,’ Manning was saying.MoreLess
