About this book

A note addressed to Valerie says that when a writer admits that he has an affection for something which he has written, it is high time to pray for his soul. The note confesses that there are in this book some passages which the writer holds dear. The police station stood in Love Lane, a couple of streets away from the market square of Bloodstock. The text describes a station sergeant in his shirt-sleeves and a state of profuse perspiration as the sole representative of the Law.

Leading counsel for the defence rises to his feet and calls his next witness, Walter Dale. The text says Dale was a chauffeur. Adèle asks, "What are you going to do with the car?"
