Bedford Street Brigade 01 - Where The Lady Belongs - Plot & Excerpts
No wonder a correspondent of the Times reputed the diamond to be the lion of The Great Exhibition of 1851. No wonder the Exhibition committee had taken such precautions to make sure nothing happened to the diamond. It was Mack’s responsibility to protect the exhibit, which turned out to be a more difficult job than he thought it would. The crowds were enormous. Even the policemen posted at the entrance and exit of the cordoned-off area that housed the display had trouble holding back the multitude of spectators anxious to see a diamond of such enormity. Today’s crowd seemed by far the largest, the most difficult to control of all the crowds pushing to see the exhibit. Perhaps it was because The Great Exhibition only had four more days to run. Perhaps because today’s weather had been perfect for an outing. Perhaps simply because Mack had been at this for more than five months, and constant worry and fatigue were wearing on him. He would be glad when this duty was over. He scanned the crowd again.
