02 - Mrs. Jeffries Dusts for Clues
“Jeffries Dusts for Clues CHAPTER 6 Inspector Witherspoon knew it wasn’t going be a good day. He glanced at the clerk working in the corner of the outer office of Wildwoods and stifled a sigh. Outside the narrow windows the sky loomed cloudy and ominous. He could hear the clatter of the omnibuses and the clip-clop of horses’ hooves blending with the raucous cries of the street vendors.
He frowned at the closed door of Emery Clements’s office and wished the man would hurry up so he could get this... uncomfortable interview over. Witherspoon hated asking questions of a personal nature. He much preferred the nice, easy straightforward inquiries such as what is your name, what is your address and where were you at such and such a time. Yet now he had to go into that office and ask Mr. Clements about a betrothal ring and possibly even a fiancée. Goodness, he thought, this could turn out to be a crime of passion. The idea made Witherspoon shudder. No, he decided, it definitely wasn’t going to be a good day.MoreLess
