The Second Shot (2010)
“I began the last chapter with a reference to Armorel’s invitation to me, on the morning following that fateful evening, to help her gather bluebells for lunch. I had to excuse myself, because John had selected the place in the woods which was to be the scene of the supposed murder, and I had to familiarize myself with it and carry out certain arrangements in preparation for the afternoon. These arrangements completed, I glanced at my watch and saw that it was barely eleven o’clock. The pretende...d quarrel in the house party was to be enacted at twelve o’clock, and I was not looking forward to it in the least. In the meantime I would have half an hour to spare for Armorel and the bluebells.
I have probably made it plain that I do not care for the type of young woman which Armorel Scott-Davies represents, with her cigarettes and her lipstick (I believe that is the term); on the other hand her well-meant attempts to atone for her cousin’s boorishness had touched me, and I thought it only kind to requite them.MoreLess
