The Hidden Man - Plot & Excerpts

In this way, after little more than a half hour, the two burly workmen had completed three of the four cuts necessary to remove the iron casing that contained the lock’s mechanism. When I returned from Fisher Gate they were half way through the fourth, though by now they were growing tired, and accompanying the music of the file with bestial grunts of effort.
