Mrs. Jeffries And the Mistletoe Mix-Up
“Jeffries and the Mistletoe Mix-Up CHAPTER 8 Mrs. Jeffries walked into St. Thomas’ Hospital and stopped at the porter’s station in the main hall. “Is Dr. Bosworth here today?”
The porter, a burly man with a ruddy complexion, gave her a quick, assessing glance and then opened the ledger on his desk. “Let me check for you, ma’am,” he said. She’d worn a gold and brown plaid day dress rather than her brown bombazine housekeeper’s attire under her good brown cloak; she had also put on her best hat an...d had taken the added precaution of wearing her amber and gold brooch to ensure the hospital staff cooperated readily with her inquiries. People were always far quicker to help when you were well dressed.
She waited while his pudgy fingers ran down a list of names. She’d been here many times before and could easily have gone to Dr. Bosworth’s office, but the truth was she didn’t want to walk down two flights of stairs unless she knew for a fact he was in the building.
