Julius And The Watchmaker (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
He tried to open his aching eyes, but the candlelight stung them shut again. Fatigue and cold were boring like worms into every pore of his skin. He tried to pull himself up into a sitting position. You left Mr Flynn’s hat in the alley, Higgins. ‘Springheel’s expecting us, Higgins,’ said Clements. ‘It’s time for you to earn your keep, my lad.’ ‘Where am I?’ ‘Here, have a nip of this, warm you up a bit,’ said Clements, offering his hip flask. ‘You’ll need your wits about you where you’re going.’ Julius grabbed the hip flask. He threw back his head and drank. The brandy made him gag but then it flowed, like honey, all the way down to his stomach, dispelling the cold as it went. Clements snatched the flask back. ‘Steady on, steady on. Springheel’s waiting, come on, hurry.’ ‘Leave me alone,’ said Julius, flopping back down and closing his eyes. ‘No time for that, Higgins,’ said Clements, lifting Julius up by the lapels of his jacket and shaking him gently.
