Manor House 04 - Dig Deep for Murder
“Violet had ordered her to dust the suit of armor and put a spot of oil in the hinges. She eyed the impressive figure with some misgivings. She'd never dusted a suit of armor before. Didn't seem decent, somehow.
She shook out her duster and advanced on her victim. "You must have been a big bloke when you was alive," she commented. "Wouldn't mind a knight in shining armor meself. Make a change from the bloody twits I usually bump into, I'm telling you." Speaking out loud made her more comfortable.... The silence bothered her a lot. She hadn't said anything to Violet, and she wouldn't dream of mentioning it to Lady Elizabeth, but the truth was, the Manor House gave her the willies.

"You'd protect me, though, wouldn't you, luv?" She leaned back into the crook of the armor's bent arm and gazed up at the empty helmet.MoreLess
