Troubles in the Brasses (2012)
“ASKED Madoc. “And what did Rintoul say to that?”
“It was rather strange. He said, ‘Cool it, Frieda. You’re not going to get hold of it that easily.’ ”
“What do you suppose he meant by ‘get hold of it’?”
“Well, Cedric had such a filthy mind that I thought maybe he was telling Frieda he wouldn’t—you know—have it off with her. Though I can’t imagine why she’d have wanted him to. Cedric was kind of a mess. Anyway, that was just a guess. He probably didn’t mean anything at all.”
“And... what did he do with the beans he’d picked?”
“Tossed them back among the bushes.”
“All of them?”
“How could I tell? He might have palmed a few, I told you he was good at sleight-of-hand. Inspector, you’re not thinking Cedric used those beans to poison Wilhelm Ochs?”
“It’s fairly apparent that somebody did.”MoreLess
