Mrs. Jeffries And The Merry Gentlemen (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Jeffries and the Merry Gentlemen CHAPTER 7 Mrs. Jeffries stood at the drawing room window and stared out into the dark night. She focused her gaze on the gas lamp across the road and tried to think of a plan of action. The inspector was due home any minute now and she still wasn’t certain of what she was going to say when they had their sherry tonight. Today’s meeting had netted so much information that it wouldn’t be fair to expect Constable Barnes to pass it all along. But what would be the most reasonable tidbits for her to weave into their conversation? She cast her mind back to the meeting, going over every report one by one.

A dog barked frantically, jerking her out of her reverie.
