>>6015602Sir Clayton Partridge (60SW)
Sir Clayton Partridge is a vigorous man in his late fifties. When we arrive at his home, he is directing three servants in the packing of his carriage.
"No, Muffins, put the fly rods on top but only after everything is loaded. Cleaver, that cord will never do. Stouter stuff, man, stouter stuff is needed. Where is my shot bag, Brimmer? You know I hate to carry shotgun shells in my pocket."
Our interruption is not appreciated but, in the main, Sir Clayton is co-operative. He tells us that he is indeed a smoker of Benson & Hedges Imperials. Further, he is acquainted with the Grant Arms Company.
"Phillip Marlowe is an old friend and golfing partner. Played with him on the very day of Allen's murder."
"When did you finish your round?"
"Late afternoon. Invited Marlowe home to dine. We were at it well into the evening. Brandy afterward, you know. Must have been midnight when we parted company."
