A Mrs. Jeffires Mystery 11 - Mrs. Jeffries Questions the Answer
“Jeffires Mystery 11 - Mrs. Jeffries Questions the Answer CHAPTER 3Mrs. Goodge eyed her victim carefully through the back door. Tommy Mullins, the butcher’s boy, stood there grinning at her foolishly, him and his chipped teeth. “Do you want me to leave it out here?” he asked, jerking his chin at the brown-wrapped package in his arms, “or should I bring it in and put it in the wet larder?”Tommy was a skinny, runty fellow with stringy yellow hair sticking out of a stained porkpie hat. His shirt wa...s dirty, his apron even dirtier and his shoes were speckled with clumps of a congealed brown-and-red substance that made the cook shudder. But this was a murder she was investigating, so filthy shoes or not, she’d have him in her kitchen. But she promised herself that arthritic fingers or not, she’d have a good go at the floor with a bottle of Condy’s disinfectant as soon as he’d gone. Even though the stuff wasn’t supposed to be used for anything but the pipes, if it could kill off the smell in the drains, it could certainly kill off whatever this boy tracked in on his wretched shoes.MoreLess
