Death in High Heels
““Louise, my angel—this is too awful! I quite forgot about coming round to see you!”
“Were you supposed to be coming round to see me?”
“Well, darling, of course. I’ve got a damn great bunch of daisies here for you. I’ve been coming round ever since I left you last night.”
“What stopped you, anyway?”

“I can’t hear a word you’re saying, Charles. Anyway, y...ou can’t start coming round now. The daisies must wait till to-morrow. Come early and have supper.”
“Oh, my sweet, that’s too marvellous of you. I will if I possibly can; may I leave it that I will if I possibly can? You see, there’s a lot to do on this case, it might keep me late, but if I can manage to get away, of course I’ll come.”
“My Mr. Charlesworth is cooling off,” said Miss Taylor to her mother as she replaced the receiver. “However, I believe three months is quite a record.”MoreLess
