“His own what, Tobias?”
“Why, his own funeral, sir. It would be a shame of he had swelled the attendance at all those other services and didn’t have a big congregation for his own.”
Tobias began writing notes in his black book. “One other thing, sir. I nearly forgot. I found these two little pieces of silver lying on the ground in a corner of the Reception area. I don’t know if they’re important.”
Mycroft examined them carefully and placed them in his waistcoat pocket.
“You have done well, Tobias,” he said, and continued his examination of the street outside.
