One of these days, she told herself, she’d have someone come in and organize the books. Once upon a time the shelves had been neatly arranged, with fiction at eye level, history and classics above, and the rest below. Now there were Dickens and Sherlock Holmes mixed in with The History of the British Empire and The Ladies’ Compendium of Good Manners. Shaking her head, Cecily ran her gaze along a row of history books, finally pouncing on the title she’d been seeking. Taking the book over to the fireplace, she sank onto the green brocade chair and flipped open the pages. Before long she found exactly what she needed to know. With a satisfied sigh, she slapped the book closed. At least she had an idea what Gerald Evans was investigating, and why it concerned the Pennyfoot. The next step was to find out exactly who was involved. Once she was certain of that, she could ring the authorities in Wellercombe to take care of things. Feeling pleased with herself, she left the library and headed down the hallway to the ballroom.
