I must check every one for possible damage, the glass, the frames." "How many? That won't take long, sir. We've been waiting hours to see you." "You made no appointment." "We don't," said Diamond. "We just drop in." For a time, Sturr ignored them to supervise the unloading of his pictures. Each had to be unwrapped in the hall and inspe...cted before being taken into a front room. The removal team got on with the job while Diamond and Leaman stood by the front porch like two immovable Jehovah's Witnesses.
Diamond said confidentially to Leaman, "Did you recognise the woman?" "I've seen her hanging about the nick." "Ingeborg Smith is a hotshot reporter. Wants to join the police." "Must be out of her mind. Is that her car, the white Peugeot?" "Presumably." "Did you know she was a close friend of Mr Sturr's?" "She's upwardly mobile, is Ingeborg." "I already noticed that." The unloading of the pictures was completed with no damage discovered.MoreLess
