The House of the Scissors
“She looked round the assembled group. “It will be fun having you around all the time!”Sammy Silk patted her shoulder with a pudgy hand. “We’re looking forward to it, sweetheart. We owe you a big debt for getting Arab out of trouble at Mambrui, you know that?”Hilary preened herself. “You’ll love Lucien’s house!” she said.Sammy did. Arab watched him uncertainly as he prowled round the ruined rooms at the back of the house. It was the first time she had seen them herself and she was quite overcome... by the graceful arches, the flower-covered courtyards, and the crumbling pools where once the ladies of the household had bathed amongst the waterlilies.“Is it what you wanted?” she asked Sammy.“You ask me that? Have you no eyes in your head to see what we have here? This is going to be the best work I’ve ever done, and that’s saying something! Arab, duckie, you may not have it all, but you certainly have something! And it’s all laid on for us by the great Lucien Manners!MoreLess
