12- Mrs. Jeffries Reveals Her Art - Plot & Excerpts
Jeffries Reveals Her Art CHAPTER 3 “We’d best take statements tonight,” Inspector Witherspoon said to Barnes. “I think we’d better have a quick word with the members of the household.” “Right, sir,” Barnes agreed. He stifled a yawn and cast a longing glance at the loaded tea trolley. Tea would be nice right about now. Then he remembered the victim might have been poisoned and suddenly he wasn’t quite so thirsty. “Do you want to speak to everyone together or should I bring them in one at a time?” “One at a time, I think,” Witherspoon said. “This is, after all, a suspicious death. Start with the elderly gentleman. We might as well hear what he’s got to say so he can get to bed. People that age need their rest. Have the police constables take statements from the servants.” “Yes, sir,” Barnes said, moving smartly toward the door. As soon as he’d disappeared, the inspector took a few moments to study his surroundings. No shortage of money here, he thought, as his gaze flicked about the huge room.
