The Adventure of the Dead Wild Bore (2014)
“There was no access from outside to this particular small room in the pub, so everything should be secure.
Next, he asked for the landlord to be brought to him at one of the tables in the saloon bar, got the uniformed constable to take names and contact details of all those still present – oops! – and set up his base with DS Port, demanding that the pub be closed for the remainder of the evening.
Greg Wordsworth came to the table with Tilly, only to have her sent away, as Streeter wante...d to question them separately. The landlord was still shaken, and had a large brandy in one hand. ‘Sit down!’ the inspector ordered in an authoritarian manner. ‘Just what’s been going on in your establishment, Mr Wordsworth?’ ‘I really have no idea what’s happened,’ returned Wordsworth, to this abrupt question, his plummy voice filling the vacant space round them. ‘The first the wife and I knew about it was when Mr Holmes and his associate called us to the bar – not the legal bar, you understand, ha ha – and we all went through to the back parlour for him to break the news to us.’ Streeter had not reacted to this weak witticism, but was surprised by the refinement of the voice.MoreLess
