There was a healthy dose of cockney in his accent. He pronounced the "v" in "very" as if it were a "w"- just as Derek Craven did in his occasional lapses. Although there was something secretive and guileful in his light blue eyes, his grin was so winning that Sara decided she had nothing to fear from him. Another cockney in well-tailored clothes, she mused.”
