The Treasure At Poldarrow Point (An Angela Marchmont Mystery)
“Simpson, Barbara sat down in the garden with the cat on her lap and thought very hard about their earlier conversation. She was not convinced, as Angela seemed to be, that Miss Trout was in no danger from Clifford. In fact, it seemed to her that he had every motive to try and get his aunt out of the way. It was nearly the end of July, and on the fifth of August they would have to leave Poldarrow Point whether or not the necklace had turned up. Time was running short, and he must surely be getti...ng desperate by now. Miss Trout had stubbornly withstood the Dorseys’ clumsy attempts to persuade her to leave, and she was now the only thing standing between the three of them and the treasure. It stood to reason that Clifford would now make some other, more determined attempt to get rid of her—perhaps even resorting to violence.Barbara vowed that she would not let him succeed, even if it meant keeping an eye on him day and night for the next week or more. Somebody had to protect Miss Trout from her designing nephew—and she decided that that person should be herself.She pushed the cat off her knees and wandered into the kitchen, where she begged a picnic lunch from Cook, who had taken a liking to Barbara and was only too happy to oblige.MoreLess
