Philip Martin Brown: John Whittle

Quotes 

• John Whittle : Still busy with that little railway of yours? Missing out then, aren't you? Surprised you're not hanging around your old place of work.

  James Griss : What are you talking about?

  John Whittle : Janet Pennyman. Up for grabs now, isn't she?

  James Griss : That poor woman's in mourning.

  John Whittle : What difference does that make?

  James Griss : Now, you just shut your mouth, John. I'll take my trade elsewhere.

  John Whittle : Me? Well, what have I said?

  James Griss : And don't act the innocent with me. You're the biggest troublemaker in this village.

  John Whittle : At least I'm not a grown man playing with trains.

• Barnaby : Mr. Whittle, what can you tell us about James Griss?

  John Whittle : Not a lot. Don't see much of him these days. Hoo. Pennyman and Griss, that was a partnership made in hell. James in trouble?

  Barnaby : Why should he be?

  John Whittle : Because he had a short fuse, that's why.
