Then Jack said, ‘We have to interview Amelia Proudfoot. Behaviour as odd as this must be connected to the two murders.’ ‘Whose behaviour is odd?’ I asked. ‘The bank’s in foreclosing so quickly, or Amelia Proudfoot’s?’ ‘It was Mrs Proudfoot I was thinking of,’ Jack said. ‘The day we spoke to her she was clearly hiding something. And then the moment the sale of the property is announced she leaves. Perhaps it’s not too much to say she flees. From the bank’s point of view surely she could have stayed at the farm until the sale went through.’ ‘But—but—you can’t imagine she might be the murderer?’ spluttered Warnie. ‘We’ve both seen her. She’s just a slip of a thing.’ Jack shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘Women have killed before—remember Constance Kent and the Road Hill House murder?’ ‘Well, it’s possible, I suppose,’ Warnie mumbled. ‘It might explain why she’s fled from the district in such haste.’ ‘That’s a thought,’ I added.
