Threats At Three (2010)
Threats At Three
“He had been out of town, visiting his sister Eva, who was in hospital after what her daily help described as “having it all out, dear.” He felt somewhat bruised after a day of tea and sympathy.
Eva had once more given him a dozen sensible suggestions why the two of them should set up house together, and he had given her his usual evasive answer. The idea appalled him. When his wife had been alive, she wasn’t a very warm companion, but it had taken him quite a while to get used to being alone. N...ow he had achieved a more or less satisfactory solitary life, making decisions that affected him only. His work occupied most of his time, and he had taken up golf which, although he was a late comer to the game, worked its addictive magic on him. He played most weekends, and told himself he was improving.
Now he dialled Lois’s number and waited. He saw that her message was timed at three thirty yesterday, and swore. He hoped it was not too late, knowing that she would never call him unless it was something important.MoreLess
