Fear On Friday (2006)
““Well, what did you expect?” he said. Fergus had told him of his humiliation in the Mayor’s Parlour.
“You’d have thought I was a dirty old tramp off the streets!” Fergus said again. “He was about to turf me out by the scruff of the neck, when that nice Mrs. Slater rescued me. I kept on telling him I’d received an invitation and been checked in on the list at the door, but he wouldn’t listen. Just kept spluttering and pushing at me to get out.

It rankled still, after all these years, although Daisy protested, now as always, that she regarded the whole thing as a means to an end.MoreLess
