“Jo, jo. Povídka obsahuje všechny ty milé detaily, které dělají vztah inspektora a jeho seržanta víc osobní. Pak už jen stačí krůček k něčemu dalšímu ;) "“There’s no reason both of us have to stay. I could hold down the fort while you drive up to see Lyn.” “Leave you alone, working? At Christmas? What do you take me for?” “A man who wants to see his grandson. Lyn needs you more than I do.” Lewis made a face. “I don’t know about that.” He guided the car to the kerb. “Knowing you, you’ll stay up all night, burning through a whole packet of cigarettes.” Hathaway watched Lewis turn off the engine and engage the brake, torn between wanting to hide his thoughts and let them show. In the last year, the former had become more difficult. The expression on Lewis’s face was kind. “I wouldn’t let you do that.” In his famished state, it took Hathaway a moment to realise what Lewis meant. “Thank you.”" Též nechybí popichování: “Blimey, I think I forgot the key. I knew I should have kept it on the ring with the rest.” “You have a key?” “Of course I have a key. What did you think?” “I thought we were going to be housebreaking tonight, sir,” Hathaway said in his best sergeant’s voice. “You want me to break into me own daughter’s house?” “We could try the chimney, but I doubt either of us would fit.” “Don’t be smart. I have forgotten the key. Dammit to hell.” Lewis looked defeated. “It’s four in the morning. I’m not waking her now. She barely sleeps as it is.” (...) He returned to Lewis. “I say we scramble over the garden gate, go round to the back, find an unlocked window, climb through, and we’re in.” Hathaway clapped his hands together for emphasis. “And have the neighbours call the police?” “You could put on your Santa suit.” “Yeah, that’s sure to attract less notice.” A nakonec, kdo by odolal polibku od Santy, že? Rozhodně povídka nejen na Vánoce.”
