Sowerbutt's Search

“The state of play? We are searching the Cathedral as best we can and I have what is called a timer that has been made safe and an amount of explosive material on my desk here.  I am told it is enough to bring down one of the pillars."

Sowerbutt's Gelignite

Sowerbutt snapped: “Those bags he was carrying, they’ll be full of gelignite. The only way to bring the Cathedral down is to blow the supporting pillars and get a fire going."

Sowerbutt's Cathedral

Sowerbutt suddenly stopped. “Dear God, Spaghetti. They are after St Paul’s. Remember what Vershinin’s mate said before he was shot.”

Sowerbutt's Ruins

Sowerbutt glanced around – bomb sites, blackened ruins, heaps of bricks and charred timber, a burnt-out car already beginning to rust with the rain. The aftermath of the terrible Sunday a couple of weeks ago.

Sowerbutt's Anger

Sowerbutt snapped: “After all this way and we’re going to lose him. Streets around here are like a maze apart from the areas blocked off with the bomb damage.”

Sowerbutt's Transport

Transport had been impossible that morning. On railway stations around London, ticket offices were unexpectedly closed, platforms fenced off for repairs, trains cancelled at the last minute.

Sowerbutt's Kidnappings

A couple of grey-haired men, walking past an empty house, were suddenly grabbed from behind, frog-marched into the house, bound and gagged. The same thing happened half-a dozen times around the area.

Sowerbutt's Taxi

Vershinin walked out of the block of flats, carrying two heavy canvas bags. Glancing up and down the street, he climbed into the back of the taxi which headed towards High Street, Kensington.

Sowerbutt's Bomb

"One Jerry bomb at Bank tube last night and a hundred of us die – men, women, kiddies. Won’t forget January 11, 1941 in a hurry,” Spaghetti shook his head. “How much longer is this going on for?”

Sowerbutt's Friend

Churchill’s eyes twinkled: “Sorbay. Yes, I like the man, gets things done and I enjoy his supplies.”

Sowerbutt's Debts

Churchill lit his corona. “The help of our Cousins is sorely needed, Kingsley Wood, our beloved Chancellor, never ceases to point out that we have scraped the barrel dry."

Sowerbutt's Visit

Churchill growled: “My golden geese at Bletchley confirm that Jerry is taking Uncle Joe’s so-called visit here seriously. Wireless messages here, there and everywhere."

Sowerbutt's Tanks

Pop rubbed his stubbly chin. “ Mr Sorbay knew some Italians when he was in Spain, he told me. They had a great scam going, selling their tanks to the other side. Corpo Truppe Volontarie, he called them.”

Sowerbutt's Workers

Jo-Jo grinned: “ You can’t get farm workers for love nor money. They’ve just put up the wages to 48 bob a week to keep them, but all the lads are either off to Luton to work in the factories or called up. There’s even talk about Land Girls."

Sowerbutt's Fight

“Coshes, knuckles, knives. Only a select few will have shooters. Remember discipline, do exactly as you are told or you will answer to One-Line," Sowerbutt said.

Sowerbutt's Spies

Harry Hopkins looked up sharply. “You have a date for Jerry's move east, Brendan?  I know you Brits have ears in many places, something we have to address.”

Sowerbutt's Victory

"With men like you, Brendan, and Winston in charge, Britain will whip that son-of-a-bitch in Berlin," Harry Hopkins said.

Sowerbutt's Surrender

"The society set, much of the civil service, some of the government would have sued for peace, preferring their bank balances to showing any balls. But the ordinary people support Winnie."

Sowerbutt's Timing

Brendan Bracken’s friends and foes agreed that he had an unerring nose for timing; during Churchill’s rages he knew what to say and when to say it to bring discussions back to ground.

Sowerbutt's Shadow

“This Russian bloke, Mr Sorbay. Very difficult and he’s done his homework.  Chops and changes where he’s going. Down blind alleyways but knows about exit doors. Through shops. Up over roofs. Knows where bus stops are. A real professional. But he’s never spotted me."

Sowerbutt's Emergency

Bracken picked up the telephone. “Good morning, operator. This is a national emergency, my name is Brendan Bracken from the Prime Minister’s office. Please end all other calls immediately, you will work to my orders alone. The Dorset Chief Constable, at home if necessary."

Sowerbutt's Letter

Churchill growled: "Where we are going to hold the hundreds of Italians surrendering is another question entirely.” “Which brings us to this, Prime Minister,” the King said, pushing a thick cream sheet of paper, bearing the crest of the House of Savoia, across the desk. “Came over with the Stockholm flight.”

Sowerbutt's Story

The Brigadier said: “The point about our story is that it’s what Hamburg wants to believe, not what we might think is important. No connection between our transmitter and the Argies, but both singing from the same hymn sheet. The letter from the Argie ambassador talked about a heavy army escort for some VIP cars going into Holyrood. Eden and the Duke of Kent being spotted with a foreign-looking military figure and the convoy heading south later in the day."

Sowerbutt's Money

Nero glanced at the Gladstone bag, wedged between his feet. It was full of bundles of five-pound notes that Sowerbutt had collected from one of the Family’s larders.
