Death At the Wedding Feast (2011)
“One was a perfectly ghastly affair in a violent shade of lime green with violet embroidery – a colour combination that could have come off had it not been for the vivid hue of the lime. It had been created by a tailor in Exeter and the Apothecary felt he only had himself to blame for the purchase. The second was the divine outfit he had had made for Lady Sidmouth’s ball, crimson satin decorated with silver butterflies, with a straight-cut short waistcoat also made of silver. This too had been m...ade locally, though by a different craftsman. The decision was to choose which to wear.
Eventually John chose the lime, thinking it preferable to look like a piece of fruit than a complete dandiprat, one who tries to be something that he was actually not. Very conscious of his vivid apparel he covered all with his long travelling coat – from which the servants had obligingly scraped off the mud – and set forth for Lady Sidmouth’s lovely home, perched high on the cliffs overlooking Sidmouth Bay.MoreLess
