Those were the only notes that she would jot down that day, and she had to admit that it had been a long one. The cottage pie and sponge pudding had warmed her spirits. After a bit of rest, she decided, she would get back on the case again, concluding that the next action she needed to take was to share all she had learned with Betty. Maybe her friend would be able to shed some light on the situation.

She’d call Betty that very minute and tell her to come over to her place in an hour. That way, Lorna would have time for a mini food coma / nap.

“Jackie, can I use your phone?” Lorna asked.

“Sure, come around the bar.”

Lorna walked around the bar, picked up the phone, and dialed Betty.

“Wardenshire Residence?”

“Betty, can you talk later?” Lorna asked.

“But we’re talking now,” Betty said.

“No, I mean, talk in person. At my place. I some findings about Elizabeth Larkin that I want to share with you.”

“Funny you should mention that,” Betty said. “We received an invitation from Elizabeth to take tea at her home this evening.”

“Truly?” Lorna asked.

“I cannot tell a lie,” Betty replied.

“That’s odd, indeed.”

“We should go, nonetheless. Elizabeth makes a fabulous sponge pudding.”

“But I’ve already had sponge today.”

“Lorna, my dear, you can never have enough sponge.”

With that, Lorna hung up the phone and looked towards the men, absorbed in their football game. They clutched their beers like ski poles. There was hope, desire, and passion in their eyes. They were leaning in, their faces green from the TV screen.

Someone scored a goal, and the men jumped to their feet and wailed in defeat. That’s when the crying started.

Lorna got out of there like a bat out of hell.
