Old Lover's Ghost (1994)
““How interesting, Mr. Wainwright. Yes, of course your daughter may copy the diary, but do tell her to be careful. I can see the paper is fragile.” She had barely glanced at the pertinent pages confirming Wainwright’s hypothesis about the relationship between the half brothers.
She was busy having her material comforts removed to the Arras Room, a gloomy chamber hung with ancient Flemish tapestries, chosen for her by Merton because of its hermetical qualities. It had only one window and that was... inaccessible by man. The lock on its door did not open with the big brass key that opened most of the other bedroom doors. Best of all, it was directly across the hall from Merton’s room. If any pranks were attempted, he would soon discover the perpetrator.
“Very kind of you, milady,” Wainwright said. “I shall ask my daughter to set about making the copy at once.”
Upon hearing this, Merton saw his hope of Charity’s company fly out the window. He made a thorough search of the Arras Room, going through every drawer and cupboard to ensure that Miss Monteith had not sneaked a drugged pigeon in while his back was turned, to awaken from its chemically induced sleep in the middle of the night and fly about the room.MoreLess
