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.
