Explore "The Body in the Bunker" by Herbert Adams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
LUNCH at last; a man's lunch. A good cut of cold sirloin, some flowery potatoes, a chunk of Cheshire cheese and a foaming tankard of brown beer. Inspector Lee introduced Simon Ross to his assistant, Sergeant Green, and the three of them tackled their fare with healthy appetites, quite unaffected by the nature of the case on which they were engaged.
Green, a typical officer of the sort that blusters with inferiors and is very deferential to those above them, also knew Ross slightly. He realised the young lawyer's help might be valuable in a case where he was acquainted with so many of the parties concerned and was rather pleased at meeting him on such friendly terms. He adopted a heavily humorous air.
