I've had a spot of lorry trouble so I've
turned to the packhorse time-honored
method you know 524 News starting to the
dark you know the opening star bit and
anything on wheels ones away from
traffic one simply sticks to the old.
Roman roads little mind the Roman roads
to reckon are we to receive the
consignment or not
why gentlemen you don't think I like
your boundary certainly not but the
matter is pressing is about mr. Frost
mister reckon it's sufficiently
distressing orders to find ourselves
compelled to deal in contraband although
such methods are by no means without
precedent
mr. Rackham you will understand but
since its foundation it has been the
tradition of this firm to supply our
clients whatever treating difficulties
existed at the time the finest quality
wines accustomed you see mr. Rackham
one our client remember not only many of
the leading families in Debrett several
notable London club yes I knew gentlemen
I'm just trying to explain makuey
yesterday his sentence Butler the most
urgent appeal certain planet we've
managed to supplied with families and
generations
unobtainable able to meet our nearing
the end of this top of Napoleon brandy
the most hard
Christopher very good cognac insist on
the best quality while refusing to pay
the price the opposition dude is so high
and supply so limited
contraband or otherwise we must have
delivery mr. Eko

me have some transport at the New.
England quarterly at 12 o'clock tomorrow
and you in the new enter a public health
public house in broad daylight have you
taken leave of your sins Mads don't you
see that the video penis of our action

mind would never think of transferring
smuggled liquor in the backyard of a pub.
