First Catch Your Rogue - 3 Riley's Marbles


Shifty antique dealer, Jimmy Bristow, heard that old man Riley had an exquisite collection of rare glass and was reputedly loosing his marbles. He tried to con the old man into selling them to him, cheap.

But it turned out Riley wasn't as daft or as old as he seemed. He even produced his 'marbles' for Jimmy to look at, he found them very impressive. Eye-wateringly so.

Old man Riley was surprisingly strong too and persuaded Jimmy to stay for a demonstration of how the marbles sometimes went missing when young men called. When poor Jimmy finally left, he was still empty-handed, but he did have an uncomfortable, lingering feeling of fulfillment.
