The Affair Of The Bloodstained Egg Cosy - Plot & Excerpts
The afternoon proceeded much as the morning. The talks continued in the small music room. Jane and Gerry played a couple of sets of tennis with Deveraux and Evans. When they'd finished, Jane, prompted by a vague sense of duty, settled down on the terrace and let Algy talk to her. Gerry went to make some adjustments she claimed were necessary to the Hispano. Deveraux and Evans both went to do paper work. The Earl and Peabody spent the entire afternoon with the collection. And Lady Burford took Mrs. Peabody along to her boudoir for a quiet tête-a-tête. * * * 'Tell me, Lady Burford, do you like guns?' Carrie Peabody asked the question a trifle diffidently. 'Like them? Let us say I've learned to live with them.' 'Yes, one has to do that. What I really mean, is do you take an interest in them?' 'Not in the least. Do you?' 'I never have. But I sometimes wonder whether I should try.' 'Well, of course, I don't know your husband well, but I'm sure George would not welcome my trying to take an interest in his.
