“It meant that her stay in Cranham had not much more than another week to run, and for that she felt rather thankful. The geckoes all appeared to be thriving when she visited them that morning, the eggs looking just as usual, and the gauges giving normal readings. The realisation that there was nothing more she had to attend to, no other duties, made her feel lazy and aimless. The lack of Donny did not diminish as teatime approached and there was little prospect of a visitor. She had no news abo...ut the post-mortem or the interview with Edwina, which came as something of a relief. A surreptitious trip to the woods with another bag of meat and milk for the runaway dog was achieved without incident. As recompense, she took Hepzie for a long walk in the other direction, wondering whether they might even get as far as the outskirts of Painswick before turning back again. On the map, the walk looked feasible, but the reality was rather different. The rise and fall of the land, the uncertainty of the way at one or two junctures, and the absence of any other human beings combined to make the walk both tiring and dull.MoreLessRead More Read Less
