Their next call, by coincidence of geography, was actually to the much-maligned Gayle Potten, who lived just a few steps further down the Stoney Stile Road, but on the opposite side, at 3 Columbine Cottages, a row of eight dwellings that used to be accommodation for farm labourers, long ago, before the machines took over and the farmers had to diversify, lest they succumbed to being the victims of a dying breed.

Gayle, as mentioned before, could have done with losing a good deal of weight, but this did not prevent her answering the door in a skimpy bikini top, and a matching, almost invisible, thong-style bikini bottom. In fact, there was so much of her actual bottom visible, as she wobbled off into the house in front of them, that Carmichael didn’t know where to look, he was so embarrassed, and things just got worse when she turned round again and presented them with an eyeful of her ripe melon-like breasts, the nipples barely covered by her minuscule top.

Taking off her sunglasses, she took one look at Carmichael, and hooted with laughter. ‘And what have you come as, today?’ she asked, between guffaws. ‘Is it “befriend a clown day”?’ she asked, addressing this remark to Falconer, who summoned the dignity to ignore her rudeness, and said:

‘I wonder if you’d mind putting on a bathrobe or something, Ms Potten. My sergeant, young as he is, is subject to sudden rises in blood pressure, and it would be a kindness to him, if you would just cover yourself rather more than you are at the moment,’ requested Falconer, a totally innocent expression on his face.

‘No problem,’ she answered. ‘I was out in the garden soaking up the sun, but now I’m indoors, I’m rather chilly, so I’d have had to get a robe anyway. Won’t be a minute,’ she assured them, and disappeared off upstairs, to cover her largesse.

‘Thanks, sir. I thought I was going to be sick. You know how dodgy my insides can be. But why was it me that had to have the high blood pressure? You’re older than I am,’ he complained.

‘Because I’m an inspector., that’s why. Quite simple, really.’

‘Thanks a bunch, sir. She was awfully rude about my summer gear, wasn’t she? Shhh – here she comes, thundering down the stairs like a baby elephant.’

Gayle re-entered the room wearing a thin cotton bathrobe, but the effort was better than nothing. At least less of her was actually visible, and Carmichael’s stomach was no longer in any danger of rebelling. Although she wore the robe loosely, she still managed to reveal some cleavage, but her hair, now falling over the front of her shoulders, covered a multitude of sins.

And, in fact, her hair was a real shining glory of very long, thick, dark tresses, with individual hairs of pure white shining here and there. It was natural, but looked like the most expensive highlighting job in the world, and
