King Dido
Some men had rushed into the street, turned the stalls over and rushed off. Everyone had got out of their way. People knew better than to interfere. The intruders had vanished among the crowds in Brick Lane by the time the police whistles started to sound along the street.
'Look at 'em-' Tommy indicated the policemen. 'Askin' questions. Why don' they save their breath? They know it's a waste of time. No one's fool enough to split.'
