Dennis Cuthbert looked angry. No doubt he expected and would have preferred a passage from the Authorised Version of the Bible. They sang a hymn Wexford didn’t know but Dora did. The rector of the parish of St Cyprian, Myringham, gave a twenty-minute-long tribute, there was a prayer, then another hymn, during which the fair man and old woman in the fur coat left. ‘Slipped out’ would be the phrase, Wexford thought. He attempted to follow them but Dora stopped him. ‘No, darling, you mustn’t, you really mustn’t.’

When it was over and they were all filing out, the woman in the fur coat and the pale man were getting into their car, the Jaguar driver holding the door open for the old woman. He no longer looked surly but solicitous. Wexford heard him say, ‘There you are, Victoria. Take your time,’ as she slowly eased herself into the back seat. He looked for Thora Kilmartin among the departing guests but she had gone.
