Pritchards in the event that the Crown brought a case against them as accessories to terrorismSir
Henry sat behind the desk and glanced in partial shock at the lawyer, one Jonathan Lemuel, who
raised his head and eyes to the ceiling, not to have the benefit of the tropic fan that stirred the
humid air but to show disbeliefLemuel was a Cambridge-educated attorney, once a ?scholarship
