have known the charity of God. And in God's house... Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God's house forevermore... Oh, my! I think I'm going to die. They say Willy can climb a wall of glass. If anyone can do it, Clean Willy can. Oh, my! I think I'm going to die. Where is he? Good heavens! He's in a right bad state. Here, come over here. Sit down. Cabinet open... Cabinet shut. Door. Steps. Done. Time? 81. Well... better than last time. Two seconds better. But you still haven't broken the 75 seconds. Well, it is better. But not good enough. We'll try again later. Where are you going? But you're so tired. I'm not tired. Go. Steps. Door. - Cabinet open. - Fastest bloody screwsman! Shut up. Time? 31. Cabinet shut. Door. Steps. Time? 74. I always knew I could do it. Shit. Jed? - Yes. - All right? Oh, I'm well enough. You been at the fight? Fancy Dan and Stunning Bill. Wasn't my fight, was it? Put a sovereign on Bill. Well, he won. I've a quid to show for it. I'll take another walk round. See you later. 75 seconds, remember? Now! 13... 14... 15... Where are the bloody keys? No Chubb keys. Damn it. 73... 74... 75. I remember when we first met. I gave the most awful performance in Way of The World. I went to my dressing room and there were the beautiful flowers you'd sent me. And then you walked in. Flowers? Dozens of them. They were wonderful. I didn't send any. Must have been someone else. I walked in and you thanked me. You're teasing me. Bloody waste of good money, flowers. - You didn't? - No. Really? Really? I had them at a good price. I robbed a grave. All you ever think about is money. All anyone ever thinks about is money. Don't turn. - Mr Simms, is it? - That's right. - You came alone? - Yes, as you instructed. - Everything the same on the railway line? - All the same. Then it'll be tomorrow. - What'll be tomorrow? - Never you mind. Here's 100 quid for you. Look the other way and shut your mouth. - Right? - Right, sir. Now, off you go and don't look back. Get a bowl of water in there. Put it in the corner, over there. As far away from me as you can. - He's pretty heavy, ain't he? - Pretty hungry too. Sorry, sir. No one's allowed to ride in the van. I've got to accompany the animal. It's very valuable. He gets upset if I'm not with him. Yeah, very well. Doesn't care for travel. - You mean it's to be you? - Aye. Where'd you make them impressions? They keep all them keys separate. - Do they? - Aye, they do. How'd you pull 'em? With incredible skill. The next gold shipment is in a week. This time we take it. Agar will replace the gold with these lead bars and throw the bags from the train at Romney, where Barlow will collect them and then drive to Folkestone. Where will we be? In a first-class compartment enjoying the journey. What happens afterward? We divide the gold as agreed. After that. - After that? - Yes, after that. You and I will go to Paris. You have it all worked out. We ride on the train and they do the work. They have to earn their share, don't they? It's all very smooth. Unless something goes wrong. What could go wrong? My dear Mr Simms. As your humble servant, I would be greatly obliged and indebted if you could contrive to meet with me at the Palace, Sydenham for the purpose... For the purpose... For the purpose of discussing some matters of... mutual interest. Most respectfully, William Williams, Esquire. That should do it. Well now, Willy... What's this fellow Simms up to, eh? Please, sir, I can't tell you. Should have thought of that before we caught you with this purse. I don't want to go back to prison, sir. Well, then. Better tell us. I don't know, sir. I told you. All's I know is that he's a cracksman planning a flash pull, he is. The letter will put you on to him. We'll see. They'll kill me, they will. Then see you ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Отступники на английском - текст Бригада на английском - текст Хорнблауэр: Возмездие на английском - текст Ох уж эта наука! на английском - текст Дневной дозор на английском |
