A Lesson In Chemistry With Inspector Bruce - Plot & Excerpts
“Mr. Bruce seems like a pleasant young man.” Mrs. Gallagher smiled, wearing that nosy, curious look of hers. She smiled down on their housekeeper. “A good deal more than pleasant, Mrs. Gallagher. He was honored as the most brilliant student at university the year he graduated.” “You knew him at University of Edinburgh? Why ever didn’t you say so, dear?” Mother stood in the pantry, adding her own prying look to Mrs. Gallagher’s. Fiona stacked dishes as Mother handed them up. From the time Fiona was a little girl, she had helped their housekeeper with the supper dishes while Mother and Father retired to the study to go over the day’s receipts. Tonight, however, Mother had joined them in the washing up and putting away. “Because I’m quite sure he doesn’t remember me.” Fiona angled a serving platter at the back of the cupboard and contemplated how much to reveal to her mother.
