23 Paces to Baker Street Page #2

In less than five minutes.

So think that over!

You wouldn't do that.

You wouldn't!

No, I wouldn't do that.

Just as long as you do as you're told.

Come on, pull yourself together.

There's nothing to cry about.

All right. Is there decency left

anyway. When do you want this?

Night of the ninth, same address.

I'll take you down.

Then you start the job on the tenth.

All right. Can I go now?

What's the hurry? Have another drink.

No, I have to get back.

Her Ladyship's going

to a concert and there will

be no one to see to them.

I'll walk out with you.

Which way do you go?

Just to the corner. 73 takes me right to

the door but they always get so full.

Miss? Miss?

Would you come here, please?

Yes, dear?

Those two people who just went out.

Do you know them?

A man and a girl?

No, never saw them before.

That I can remember.

Well, what were they like?

I don't know dear.

Just a man and a girl.

Were they tall, short, young or old?

Well, he was a bit taller than she was.

Not very tall, not very old.

Sort of medium people all round.

Were they sixteen or sixty?

To tell the truth, I didn't

look at them particularly.

But I think they were, you know, thirtyish.

Maybe her a bit younger.

Anything the matter, Mr. Hannon?

Oh, Bob, When you came in, did you

see a man and a woman leaving?

No, There was no one

coming out just now.

Miss, there must have been

something about them you noticed.

Well I think she had a blue

cape and he a raincoat.

Anyhow, they came right

by you dear, much nearer

to you than to me. You

saw them, didn't you?

No, I didn't see them.

I don't see things nowadays.

I'm sorry, Sir, I didn't realise.

That's all right.

You weren't intended to.

Both of medium height.

Age - probably 25 to 35.

Woman thought to be wearing a blue cape,

man a raincoat.

The woman used a perfume.

The man breathed with a

slight wheezing sound

as though having, having

bronchial trouble.

Anyway there was something

strange about his voice.

The police are coming round right away.

Okay. Now be quiet. Let

me finish this.

The conversation went as follows:

"I want anything to do with it, Mr. Evans.

I don't like the sound of it."

"Oh, You'll like the money alright. And It'll

be more than this last job. Much more."

"But how do I know what

you're gonna do with it?"

"When do you want me?"

"The night of the ninth, same address.

Then I take

you down and you start

the job on the tenth."

"All right. Can I go now?"

"What's the hurry?

Have another drink."

"No. I've got to get back.

a concert and there'll be

no one to see to them."

"I'll walk out with you.
