Aunt Dimity Beats the Devil (Aunt Dimity Mystery)
“MacEwan’s dire predictions by feeling great the next morning. By the time he stopped in to check up on me, I’d showered, dressed, and gone down to breakfast in the dining room with Nicole.
I was a bit surprised to pass a pair of burly men going up the main staircase as I was coming down. When I asked Nicole about them, she said they’d come up from the village to help Hatch bring Claire’s books down from the east tower.
“Jared wouldn’t approve,” she said, buttering her toast with more force than... was strictly necessary. “But there are some things Hatch simply can’t do on his own.”
Dr. MacEwan found me polishing off the last slice of blood pudding and marched me straight up to my room for a quick examination. He seemed almost put out by the rude vigor of my vital signs.
“I won’t insist on you keeping to your bed,” he grumbled, “but I don’t want you to exert yourself unduly. You may be in fine fettle now, but chances are you’ll be flat as a pancake by noon.”MoreLess
