The Chequer Board (2005)
“He went and showed his face in the office most days, but Cereal Products Ltd. got little value out of him. Most of his time was spent in peddling samples of his cheroots in various tobacconists’ shops around London. He was obsessed with the idea that his extravagance in going out to Burma must not leave his wife the poorer; whatever else he did, he must cover the cost of that journey before strength failed. And strength was failing, patently and rather fast. He was plagued with headaches and wi...th fits of dizziness. He was beginning to find reading difficult, but it seemed hardly worth while bothering with glasses now; it was pleasanter to sit and listen to the wireless. He had increasing difficulty with his right hand, and it was a relief to him when Mollie started to do up his collar for him every morning, and to tie his tie. And he was losing weight.
He was still interested in his search for Duggie Brent, but he did not get on very well with it. With Mr Viner’s help he made contact with the solicitors who had briefed Major P.MoreLess
