Well, I’d been made a soft Johnny over this Pinner lark. And the Mawson company let me go – didn’t want folks to see my name and think of that murderous robbery attempt. No justice.

But I’ve a new crib all lined up. Who’d a thought there was a special Blond-Headed League to hire towheaded blokes like myself at good wages?

There's a whole subcategory of "I was offered a huge salary for doing something ridiculous" clients in Canon.
