As Berry And I Were Saying (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
said Berry. “Your office was there, and I find it a comfortable name.” “It was once a most comfortable house. And The Row was a blind alley, so it was very quiet. For all I know, it is now. We had the whole house. Each partner had one floor. There wasn’t a typewriter in the building. Every single letter was written by hand. And we had to do many indictments. These had to be written on sheepskin, and the clerk that was writing them out in a copper-plate hand, had to pounce the skin as he went, or the ink would have run.” “The middle ages?” said Daphne. “Very near. But that was how it was done in 1909. There were any number of clerks and they all worked early and late. But they were always cheerful. And one or two were wits and made me laugh very much. I was very happy there. High and low were terribly good to me.” “You worked damned hard.” “So did everyone else. The work that was done in that office would have made many think. But it was never dull.” “Were you concerned in the Stinie Morrison case?”
