Prosperity Drive
“The family was out visiting Nana Devoy, as they always did after second Mass, and the maid had timed it, or so Betty Fortune had heard, so the deed would be done before they got back and before Fergal woke again. She had put soaking towels in the gap between the kitchen door and the floor so that the fumes would not escape into the rest of the house and left a scrawled note pinned to the kitchen door saying DANGER – KEEP OUT. There was a deadly precision to the arrangement, a precision Irene De...voy had never noticed in the girl before, though she didn’t voice this, not wanting to speak ill of the dead. She wanted everything about the terrible scandal that had been visited upon her household to be proper because what Irene felt deep in her heart about the suicide of the maid was selfish relief.
