Manor House 01 - A Bicycle Built For Murder - Plot & Excerpts
When he continued, his voice betrayed his deep sorrow. "Beryl Pierce was discovered on the beach early this morning. She was deceased and presumed to have drowned. Please accept my sincere condolences." Winnie's knees buckled, and Elizabeth caught hold of the distraught woman's arm. "Help me, George. Let's get her in the house." George made a clumsy grab at Winnie's other arm, and between them they half carried her into the parlor, where she fell onto the sofa and gave herself up to deep, heart-wrenching sobs. "Brandy," Elizabeth said briskly. "That's what she needs. Look in the cupboards, George, and see if you can find some." "Haven't seen brandy in months," George muttered, but he ambled obediently into the kitchen and began opening and shutting cupboards. Winnie rocked to and fro on the sofa, unheeding of Elizabeth's attempts to calm her. "What am I going to do?" she wailed. "She was my only one and now she's gone." There were no words in Elizabeth's mind that could possibly comfort the poor woman right then.
