I’m a detective, a private eye. I’m actually quite good at it. My fellow sleuths claim my success is more by chance than cleverness. They call me Sheerluck Holmes. They’re only jealous.
My mission, which I chose to accept, was to follow a woman thought to be fabricating falsehoods. Hardly surprising, therefore, that I found her in a cloth shop, the perfect place for me to gather material evidence
Whilst there, I bought a quilt. Very useful should I decide to go undercover!
Tomorrow I’ll be at an airport baggage reclaim, watching a suspected smuggler. I’m bound to crack his case.
