The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories - Part V
Scene 6
INT. A JAIL CELL.
BRADSTREET: I’m rapidly running out of patience with you, Horner.
HORNER: ( Wearily) Look, Mr. Bradstreet. If I knew where it was, I’d tell you. But I’ve never laid eyes on it, my word on the book.
BRADSTREET: Your word?
HORNER: Can I see my wife?
BRADSTREET: Oh it’s prisoner’s privileges you’re wanting, is it? Listen Horner, the Countess of Morcar’s been pulling strings. I’ve got the Commissioner looking over my shoulder, and I don’t like that one little bit.
Where’s that jewel?
