Tim brought a tray of sandwiches and iced tea and placed them on the sideboard. Aunt Pearl selected a salmon sandwich and a glass of tea. She returned to the table she was sharing with Miss Miller, Mr.Simpson, the Lawrences, and Mr. Bole. Jack Arnold sat alone on the settee adjacent. Aunt Pearl rummaged in her purse and came up with a flask. She emptied half of the contents into her glass. Detective Brisbois and Detective Creighton had conducted another round of interviews that morning. “I don’t know what more the detectives expect me to tell them,” Aunt Pearl said. “I didn’t see or hear anything. I sleep like a log. There could have been a Salvation Army band playing ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ under my window and I wouldn’t have known.” “They wanted to know if I had noticed anything while returning to my cottage,” Mr. Bole chipped in. “I don’t recall anything unusual.” He shrugged. “After all of my years coming to the Pleasant, I’m sure I would have noticed if something was afoot.”
