Constable Guard Thyself!. E-book. Formato EPUB. &ldquo;This is my Chief Clerk&rsquo;s office, General.&rdquo;<br />Captain Scole, Chief Constable of Brodshire, threw open the door of a small ill-lit room, lined with shelves and filing cabinets. A uniformed police-officer, who was sitting at the big roll-top desk, rose quickly to his feet and stood to attention.<br />&ldquo;Ah, it&rsquo;s you, Inspector; I&rsquo;d forgotten Mr. Jason was going off this afternoon.&rdquo;<br />Captain Scole turned to his companion, a rather short, military-looking man with brushed-up moustache too large for his body, and bright blue eyes.<br />&ldquo;This is Inspector Tallard, who acts as deputy to the Chief Clerk. Superintendent Jason is away for two or three days for his sister&rsquo;s wedding. I&rsquo;ll introduce him to you some other time. Wretched room this; I&rsquo;m hoping to persuade your Committee to build us some new headquarters when things get better.&rdquo;<br />The General, however, was taking less interest in the room than in its occupant.<br />&ldquo;Have we met before, Inspector?&rdquo; he asked. &ldquo;Were you in the Brodshires? I&rsquo;m General Cawdon; I commanded the 7th Battalion in &rsquo;18.&rdquo;
