‘Peewees?’

‘Peewits, Johnny. Lapwings. Them birds what nest up on the downs. Could be some laying already. I can make a fair bob or two from them. Give you a quarter of what we make? All right?’

‘Yes. I’d like that, Mr Ringer.’

‘Right then. My place. Eight o’clock. And don’t blab it around. The eggs is protected.’

‘Protected?’

‘By law. Shouldn’t take ’em. But if nobody did the things they shouldn’t the world would stop going round. While we’re out I’ll show you somethin’ too. Place where my old Daddy used to live.’
