Honeybath's Haven (2012)
“One can’t visit a corpse, and as yet there wasn’t even any word of a funeral. It would be Melissa who would have to be consulted about that, and about the various practical dispositions to be made thereafter. Melissa hadn’t yet showed up, but when she did she would either take charge of things, or nominate persons to do the job for her. The Lightfoots hadn’t been divorced; they hadn’t even been separated to any legal effect. Honeybath thought it probable that, had it ever occurred to Edwin to m...ake a will, he might find himself appointed as an executor. Meanwhile, he was only a concerned old friend. He had meant what he said, however, when he had told Adamson that he was prompted to remain on the scene for a time and a little cast about on his own. But Hanwell Court wasn’t a hotel, so he couldn’t simply march up to a desk and book a room. On the other hand he was sufficiently well known to Brigadier Luxmoore, Dr Michaelis and others as the dead man’s intimate friend to make it seem perfectly natural and proper that he should come and go for a time, and render a general effect of doing a little tidying up.MoreLess
