Mrs. Jeffries And The Feast Of St. Stephen (A Victorian Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
Jeffries and the Feast of St. Stephen CHAPTER 3 Wiggins kept his distance from the two policemen. He’d toyed with the idea of going back to Upper Edmonton Gardens and telling them it was definitely a poisoning, but then he’d realized the only person there would be Mrs. Goodge. She’d more or less already decided it was murder, anyway, and what’s more, he knew she wouldn’t appreciate being interrupted while she was trying to wheedle information out of her sources. So he’d decided to find out what he could from the servants in the Whitfield household. Surely someone would stick his or her nose out today. He rounded the corner onto Redcliffe Road just as the inspector and Barnes went into the Whitfield house. Wiggins hesitated for a brief moment, then crossed the road, all the while keeping his eye out for a good hiding spot. He considered returning to the same stairwell that he and Smythe had used the night before, but in broad daylight he’d be easily seen. Instead he kept on walking, slowing his pace while he surveyed his surroundings.
