Death Devil's Bridge
“Because they are so often in advance of the mails in intelligence.
-Punh, 1878 When household prayers had been said, Kate climbed into the pony cart and clucked to Macaroni, the little gray pony that Charles had bought for her. She would have preferred to have ridden her bicycle, but that would not do at all, for she was on her way to Sunday services—after she had visited her friend Agnes Laken, who lived in the nearby village of Gallows Green. In the large wicker basket at her feet were a n...apkin-wrapped parcel of scones, two jars of Mrs. Pratt’s red currant marmalade, and a fine cheese. It was still early morning and there was quite some time before the service would begin. She and Agnes planned to have a bit of breakfast and a comfortable visit together.
Some time before, Agnes Laken (then Agnes Oliver) had suffered a dreadful tragedy. Her husband, Arthur Oliver, had been murdered and her daughter Betsy abducted, and it had only been through the combined efforts of Charles and Kate (at that time unmarried) that the perpetrators of these crimes had been apprehended and brought to justice.MoreLess
