He looked at Tom Rourke for a long while and he was in no rush to offer comment one way or the other. He was a calm old dude maybe in his high fifties with a serene and piercing foxlight to his eyes. He wore a heap of weather and a troutbrown corduroy longcoat. He made a slow diagnosis of the situation and at last remarked -

Tom Rourke acknowledged that such was the case and he climbed down also and they smoked for a while.
