The Anti-Social Behaviour Of Horace Rumpole (2007) - Plot & Excerpts
‘Got what exactly?’ ‘The QC.’ Wetherby appeared to be more anxious about my promotion than about the state of his defence. ‘Not quite yet,’ I told him. ‘But I have been before the selection committee and they as good as told me it was in the bag. The thing has to be rubber-stamped by the Minister for Constitutional Affairs.’ ‘So you’ll be QC at my trial?’ ‘I’ll do my very best.’ ‘Mr Rumpole,’ Bonny Bernard came to my rescue, ‘will give you considerable service whether he’s a QC or not.’ ‘The most important thing,’ I told my client, ‘is to remember the times. We worked them out the last time I was here. Twelve fifteen you made a telephone call from the office. And you arrived at the flat in Flyte Street at…’ ‘Around one pm.’ ‘That’s right, and you got into the room at…’ ‘One thirty.’ ‘Excellent! And the police and the police doctor were there at two thirty. That’s when the doctor examined the body.’ I had agreed to this conference to keep Graham Wetherby feeling properly looked after, not because I thought we had anything more helpful to discuss.
