Sowerbutt's Diamonds

Nero looked puzzled. “Go on, Bozo. What have you got?” “Diamonds,” his companion said. “Blimey, where did they come from? Haven’t heard of any sparklers being lifted,” Nero asked. “There’s a geezer with a fancy name. He’s called a King’s Messenger, works for the Government blokes. Travels around the place with papers and stuff – on aeroplanes. Hard with the war on, but he goes to Lisbon, Sweden and the States, so he says. He’s got a bloke in Sweden, a Swede like, who has found something called a diamond pipe up in their frozen north. Uncut diamonds, industrial quality.”
