Death With Blue Ribbon (1994)
“Carolus had observed them at meals and thought what a very odd trio they made, Dudley Smithers as unruffled as before, Miss Trudge weepy and vague, and Grace Marvell severely matter-of-fact and curt with both of them.
Meanwhile he wanted an interview, which he foresaw as difficult, with the assistant chef, Tom Bridger. This jolly character, all smiles and good nature to outward appearance, certainly had information which would clear at least a bit of the problem but it would be very difficult t...o make him part with it. On the whole he believed that a mixture of menace and bluff, with a certain amount of bonhomie, the technique so often used with success by the police, might be most effective.
He arranged the mise en scène with some care, borrowing Rolland’s office for the purpose and sending for Bridger at ten o’clock in the morning as though he had some super-policial authority. He invited him to sit down, offered him a cigarette, met his good-humoured smile with a stiff one of his own, then opened broadside.MoreLess
