Premise

[edit | edit source]

Our racketeering narrator, Signor Sardonic—a self-confessed "blue-jawed postwar parasite"—meets Australian tourist Mr. Horse—seemingly "a fairly simple sort of cove"—who is driving a London taxi cab up the Adriatic coastline.[3] Together they strike up a conversation with a blonde artist from Switzerland, Anna.

Horse returns as the protagonist of Barry's second and final piece for radio—Key Fee.[4]
