it was sunday and mr mycroft had taken the day off from what he didnt have a clue and he had started preparing his invoice , which was , as expected , ever so slightly padded , so to ease his conscience he rang the local seven days a week chandlers and had them send round the correct top and undercoat paint for the coach roof , he had noticed it starting to peel , it had been a right bodge job , and the chandlers must have been relieved to see the back of those tins because they never charged me delivery , they were caked in dust .
