A Village In Jeopardy (Turnham Malpas 16) - Plot & Excerpts
‘You see, rector, we’ve all known for years his idea about getting published was a load of rubbish, just a nonsense to make sure he didn’t have to work. They were obviously his belongings being thrown out of the house because a pair of men’s trousers fell out from one of ’em. We couldn’t believe it! As Marie said, “No more than he deserves.” Have you heard anything?’ ‘Nothing at all. Not a word.’ ‘Question is, where is he now? Did he sleep in the house last night? Or did she make him leave immediately? Perhaps he had to sleep in his car. What’s more, what on earth triggered it?’ Peter was looking out of his study window as Dottie asked these questions to which he had no answers. ‘Leave it with me. I’ll call round.’ ‘Right. Thanks. Anything special the doctor required doing this morning?’ ‘No. Nothing.’ ‘I’ll get cracking with my usual then.’ Peter, left alone in his study, only half-listened to the vacuum cleaner and Dottie singing her latest favourite pop song.
