In the River Restaurant that evening, we started with a bottle of white wine. Dinner was heavenly. I’d never tasted hake until I’d visited Dartmouth with Henry. This evening, the tasty white fish was pan-fried and served with buttered new potatoes. Wendy had the sole and Belle the seafood bouillabaisse.

I sighed with contentment as I contemplated the lights on the river and watched the ferry go to and fro on its five-minute journey from Dartmouth to Kingswear on the opposite shore, sometimes with only one car aboard. I explained to Wendy and Belle that this small ferry was also called a floating bridge and was pulled across the river by cables. It was amazing the bits of trivia I’d retained from my previous visit.

Belle brought our evening to an end by raising her glass. “Ladies, here’s to a successful day of sleuthing in Totnes. May the little old ladies rock.”

I laughed so hard I nearly choked on my wine. “Belle, where on earth did you get that expression?”

“Leta, I may be little, and I may be old, but I can still pick up new things from the telly.”

I loved Belle’s enthusiasm. We agreed to meet at eight thirty for breakfast, and I fetched Dickens from my room for a quick walk to the ferry and back.

“Don’t forget to call Peter,” barked Dickens as we approached the hotel entrance.

“What a good boy you are. I’d completely forgotten.”

I texted Peter that we were fine and our investigation would begin in earnest in Totnes on Thursday. By the time I readied myself for bed and read a few pages, I was once again fading, and it was lights out by ten. Leads, we need leads, I thought as I drifted off.
