When Agatha went into her cottage, her phone was ringing. She answered it and found it was Roy Silver.

“Just calling to see how things are going,” he said cheerfully.

“Murder or water?”

“Murder.”

Agatha told him about James. Roy listened and then said, “That was a bit mean of him.”

She warmed to him. “Why not come down for the weekend and we’ll go and watch the demonstration?”

“Great. I’ll get the early-morning train.”

Agatha put down the phone feeling better. However outrageously Roy had behaved in the past, he always popped up again and she felt like company. She remembered Guy and swore under her breath. She had been so stunned after leaving James that she had not even checked to see if his car was still outside.

“Guy!” she called up the stairs.

There was no reply. With a little sigh of relief, she went up and stripped the bed and put on a clean sheet, pillow cases and duvet cover. Then she undressed and climbed into bed and plunged down immediately into a dreamless sleep. An hour later, she could faintly hear the phone downstairs ringing. She had switched off the one in the bedroom. She lay until it had finished ringing and then went back to sleep.

In the cottage next door, James replaced the receiver. He had planned to ask Agatha to come into Evesham with him, but he rang off the minute her answering service came on the line.
