1189 - SMOKE

ThEre was a persistent knocking at the front door. In the living room there was a different noise as Mark was trying to shove the stolen spode china in the chimney breast. He hurriedly lit the fire and, glancing back to make sure there was smoke, he casually opened the front door. "I'm sorry - I was in the midst of lighting a fire which accounted for the delay", explained Mark, trying to look innocent. But Albert of the Yard (See 1178 - DEBIT) knew a thing or two and Mark was soon in handcuffs and the stolen goods recovered.
