His round is unfailing: Monday, Bow Street; Tuesday, Marlborough Street; Wednesday, Old Street; Thursday, Clerkenwell; Friday, Bow Street again. Jones leaves the court by 11:30, lunches at 12 exactly, begins to write at 12:30, is through at two. He is home again at 4:15 (having stopped for a drink...
