Quotes
Doyle: I wonder just how good they were.
Bodie: Who?
Doyle: The old brigade. The spies that came in from the cold — Brigadier Stadden's mob.
Bodie: It's all dark corners, back alleys, grey dust.
Doyle: Cowley reckons they were good. He was just starting, then.
Bodie: Never send a boy on a man's errand. They'll pinch his bike.
George Cowley, Words of Wisdom, Chapter One. You know, Cowley came in just after Darby went missing, which means Darby pinched his bike.
Doyle: Yeah, well, I wish Cowley had stayed right where he was. He knows this general surveillance gets right up my nose.
Bodie: Ah, relax.
Doyle: What, lift my mind onto a higher transcendental plane?
Bodie: Yeah. Like who won the two-thirty at Haydock.
