Murder Most Egyptological (A Mrs. Xavier Stayton Mystery Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
My mother-in-law went on to have Clarice, one of our less efficient domestics, ring up each her friends so that she could tell them the horrible news personally. This seemed to greatly raise the woman’s spirits. The following day, both Lucy and I avoided Mother Stayton’s preferred parlor as she paced the room, dictating a series of unpleasant letters intended for Mr. Farber. When our butler entered my little study and waved a silver dish before me with Mr. Farber’s calling card, I gave him a wink to indicate he had done well to not interrupt the verbal tirade one floor above. “Please show Mr. Farber in here. I will see him alone.” “Very well, Mrs. Xavier,” replied the uniquely efficient member of our staff. Mr. Farber shuffled into the study appearing quite disheveled. Lanky and nervous, he seemed less a thirty-five-year-old man than a gawky teenager.
