Chapter 14

“What are we having for lunch today?” Nigel asked Molly as she put the kettle on.

“I’ve just got us a Cornish pasty each. It’ll be a few min­utes yet as I want to heat them up in the oven. It would have been a lot easier if your uncle had owned a microwave, but he never really did embrace the modern age, did he?”

“So what’s the plan for rest of the day?” she continued.

“Hopefully, we can finish clearing the rooms upstairs this afternoon. We only have the third bedroom and the bathroom left and neither have anywhere near as much stuff in them as the first two rooms. It’s a good job really, since we are going to have to make more than one trip to the recycling centre when we’ve finished. Also I want to find out more about what the hospice shop will take. Obviously, we will have to come back tomorrow to clear downstairs and probably on Thursday as well. After everything we’ve discovered so far I’m not convinced that we will be able to clear out the rest of it tomorrow. We still have to empty the attic, the shed, the living room, and the dining room, as well as the study.”

“You know that I can’t come back on Friday if we haven’t finished by then,” said Molly. “Don’t forget I’ve got a dentist appointment at ten o’clock.”

“I know,” replied Nigel. “Even with the amount of junk that my uncle’s accumulated over the years we should be finished by then. Mind you, I say that, but we haven’t even looked in the attic yet. God only knows how much rubbish we will find up there.”

The pasties were now ready so Nigel and Molly tucked in. After a second cup of tea they returned upstairs to finish clearing the remaining bedroom and bathroom.

The third bedroom was far smaller than the other two and unlike them was virtually empty, with just a chest of drawers and a cot.

“That’s a surprise,” said Nigel. “Aunty Sarah and Uncle Miles never had any children. So I wonder why there’s a cot in here?”
