Excerpt from The Doctor of Pimlico: Being the Disclosure of a Great Crime Across a wide, sandy waste stretching away to the misty sea at Budden, four men were walk ing. Two wore uniform - one an alert, grey haired general, sharp and brusque in manner, with many war ribbons across his tunic; the other a tall, thin-faced staff captain, who wore the tartan of the Gordon Highlanders. With them were two civilians, both in rough shooting jackets and breeches, one about forty-five, the other a few years his junior. Can you see them, Fellowes? Asked the general of the long-legged captain, scanning the distant horizon with those sharp grey eyes which had carried him safely through many campaigns.
