1-1 | His face was pale and expressionless. | |
As she spoke, she expertly sliced off another faded, sweet-smelling rose. | ||
‘Let me see you remove this deadhead,’ she ordered him. | ||
2-1 | Take him seriously. He’s got a sharp mind, … | |
‘I started with nothing, and got where I’m through hard work and hard work alone.’ | ||
You wouldn’t look twice at him in London, but you don’t expect a plain Yorkshire boy to grow up into something like that. | ||
‘Make up your mind. Is he or isn’t he?’ | ||
‘… He would improve his chance of a better-paid job with Bulmer and Eagles out of the way.’ | ||
He scratched his huge stomach thoughtfully. | ||
2-2 | She didn’t feel she really knew her husband. He seemed to leave in a different world from her, a world in which the future was as certain as the past. | |
‘You look as if you need a lift,’ the woman said. | ||
One was an elderly man, and the other a young Asian, hardly more than a boy. | ||
‘I’m introducing him to the joys of traffic control.’ | ||
She was finding this elegant lady a surprisingly amusing companion. | ||
2-3 | The older man was white, the younger Asian, but what made Patrick stare at them was the ugliness of the one and the beauty of the other. | |
He’d enjoy embarrassing these people! | ||
He was getting nowhere, Wield thought desperately. | ||
And your garden is a real treat to the eyes. | ||
‘Even the smallest garden has room for a few roses, if you choose the right varieties.’ | ||
‘I think we are all damaged, don’t you, by limits on the development of our true nature – limits forced on us by the hard necessities of life.’ | ||
The sun flashed on the point of the knife. | ||
2-4 | Peter Pascoe was dancing baby Rose on his knee. | |
There was no proof that Elgood’s experiences with the desk lamp and the garage door were anything but accidents. | ||
‘Don’t let Andy Dalziel work you so hard!’ | ||
2-5 | … I can’t help looking at your rose. | |
‘We must find courage to reach out and take what life offers us.’ | ||
2-6 | Nobody else was treated like that. | |
‘He was difficult to talk to at first, but he really came to life when he talked about the roses.’ | ||
2-7 | People seem to drop dead right and left around Patrick Aldermann, don’t they?’ | |
2-8 | He wanted so badly to do something right, to be a success as a policeman. | |
He went on, half proud of himself, half ashamed of his power over these boys. | ||
2-9 | Pascoe knew all about stress, and the peculiar things it did to the mind. | |
‘Why did Patrick leave Bailey and Capstick?’ he asked. The old man looked sad. ‘He was dishonest. Quite unexpected. A terrible shock to me. | ||
2-10 | He found the house, and wandered around for a while, keeping an eye on the front door. | |
2-11 | Shaheed Singh felt trapped, ashamed of being disloyal to his old friends, yet desperate to succeed in his job. | |
2-12 | He thought for a moment of hiding, but knew he must face her. | |
‘Dick, I came to tell you that it’s over between us. | ||
She happens to be a policeman’s wife. I like her a lot. She’s really bright and independent. But I find myself waking up in the middle of the night thinking she’s been told to spy on me!’ | ||
2-13 | ‘It’s just like Dick. Typical.’ | |
‘Awful what suspicious minds some people have.’ | ||
Pascoe let out a long whistle. | ||
‘They don’t dare lay a finger on you, but they aren’t afraid to have a go at me.’ | ||
‘The other lads didn’t believe Jonty, see. Thought he was just talking big. | ||
2-14 | She was continuing to do a little teaching even now, with a small baby to look after. | |
He told me your husband was on the case. | ||
2-15 | Although well into her forties, she was still a good-looking woman, and one who clearly enjoyed life. | |
‘I’m wonderful with a needle.’ | ||
2-16 | ‘It’s just the excuse you need to get back to Rosemont and have a good nose around,’ he said. | |
The two women left the park in a state of friendship which they both knew might turn out to be the calm before the storm. | ||
2-17 | He was also enjoying in the company of an attractive and intelligent woman, and he told Penny so. | |
‘You mean we were supposed to meet? Written in the stars?’ | ||
‘We’ve never been terribly close.’ | ||
‘I inherited because I was her only living relation.’ | ||
Her voice had risen almost to a shout and people were looking at them, but it was impossible to embarrass Dalziel. | ||
‘I’m not staying here with you another moment!’ | ||
‘What are you really after?’ | ||
He helped her up and they went round the flat. | ||
Then she smiled, took off the black wig, and ran her fingers through her short grey hair. Suddenly, she looked fifteen years older. | ||
2-18 | This rose is going to be grown commercially. It will be on sale everywhere. | |
‘I’m pleased for you,’ he said. | ||
2-19 | ‘If anyone can advise me, you can.’ – ‘Of course,’ Patrick said. ‘It will be a pleasure.’ | |
2-20 | He sounded almost regretful, Pascoe thought. | |
2-21 | After breakfast he swam, coming out of the sea refreshed in mind and body, ready for the day ahead. | |
‘ …He died a horrible death. It must have been an accident.’ | ||
Patrick spoke with the calm of one who knows the truth about life. |
