Wallace of the Secret Service (2015)
“The short, stout figure of Batty, his eyes registering horror, his snub nose looking more pugilistic than usual, fought its way through the throng, showering nautical maledictions on the heads of the men who dared to press round his employer.
‘I think one porter will be sufficient, Batty,’ observed Sir Leonard, as the round, red face of his confidential servant appeared at his side. ‘We hardly want a hundred.’ ‘I’ll fix the swabs, sir,’ promised the ex-naval man. ‘’Ere, you,’ he crooked his... finger at a fellow, who looked somewhat less villainous than the rest, ‘come with me, and get ready to take luggage aboard. The rest o’ you up anchor. Now then, look smart about it.’ They may not have understood his language, but there was no mistaking his meaning, especially when he had knocked a few heads together. Never was a traveller arriving in the Sublime Porte so quickly rid of the unwelcome attentions of the railway ‘bandits’, as Sir Leonard Wallace.MoreLess
