Late of This Parish (2012)
“A largish, foursquare house, yet separated from the Thornes’ crooked little black and white timbered cottage next door only by a narrow space. It was growing late by the time Mayo got around to seeing Mrs Oliver and the winding-up signature tune to News at Ten could be heard from a room at the back as the Rector opened the door to their knock and ushered Mayo and his sergeant into his study. A small, comfortable room at the front of the house, it was lit by a green-shaded lamp on the desk where papers were spread and the Rector had evidently been working.
'We’re disturbing you, sir,’ Mayo said. ‘It’s really your wife we’d like to see, now. Would you like us to see her somewhere else?’ ‘No, no, not at all. Catherine will be along shortly, we’ve been expecting you.’ Previously, the Rector had visibly been out of countenance by what had happened in his church, but his distracted air had now been vanquished by a professional good humour which Mayo guessed was habitual to him.
