Tea And Scandal (1996)
“They agreed that the master bedroom was the likeliest place to find them. Fenwick had convinced Swann that he was the more likely one to request a visit thither.
When Fenwick gave him a commanding look, Swann said, “We was wondering if we might have a peek at the master bedroom.” Lady Pargeter stared at him in astonishment. “Only if you ain’t using it yourself, of course,” he added.
“It happens I am not. It’s too dark to suit me, but may I know why you wish to view it?”

I would like to see his last resting place—while he was alive, I mean, for of course, I often visit his grave. Well, two or three times. Once, actually, but I took some flowers.”
Fenwick saw he had overestimated Swann’s potential as a conspirator. “Actually, Swann was hoping for a keepsake, Lady Pargeter. Nothing valuable like his watch, but some trifle—a favorite book of poetry, perhaps, in which he had jotted down his thoughts.”MoreLess
