As Angry spoke to Mr Hamfast he seemed distracted by something. He kept on looking up with a worried expression on his face at someone who Halfred could not see. "Well, erm...Mr Hamfast, sir, I was just sat over by the bar with a friend of mine you see, and, well, I just thought to myself that it would be a mighty fine time to maybe, erm, sit and have a smoke, like"

Halfred eyed him suspiciously and indicated for him to continue. "But, you see I have already smoked the last bit of weed that I had and as a result, if you see what I mean, I didn't have anything left to put into my pipe. And then I saw you over here and I thought to myself 'Now, Angry, theres a man as discerning and respectable as the day is long. I'm sure if I ask him nicely, despite it not bein' his regular trading hours as such, he may have a pouch of Toby, or Longbottom an him that he might wish to share with you, for a price"

He hoped that Halfred would not notice where he kept on glancing and then look and see who he was so concerned about. He wished now that he had never come over here and stayed with Crystal, who obviously needed his help. It was too late, however, and any move of his to try and help her would mean Halfred seeing what he was 'up to'.

He waited in agony while Halfred thought about what he had asked.
