Reality And Dreams
“He came to see Claire one late afternoon. She poured him a drink. She looked at him and wondered, ‘Could he possibly have murdered her?’ His whereabouts at the time of her disappearance had been vaguely on the American continent. It was a question that inevitably passed through her mind whenever she saw, or even thought of, anyone who had been connected with Marigold. James was aged thirty-nine, clever, balding, with big dark-framed glasses and the trace of a beard. He appealed to Claire less, ...now, than he ever did. However, she thought it unlikely that he should have killed a wife, presumably for gain, when he could get money out of her any other way.
Tom had faith in James’s scholarship. He had recently appointed him technical adviser on early Roman sites, for his new film.
Claire said, ‘Have you seen the police lately, James?’ He did not immediately reply.
Then, ‘Oh, you mean about Marigold? No, they’ve left me alone.’ For some reason Claire didn’t like the sound of ‘No, they’ve left me alone.’ Nor was she easy with his answer to her next question.MoreLess
