“Not especially helpful, then?” Skye decided from her seat in one of the wing chairs in the study, upon hearing an abridged version of the tale, minus the local gossip.

“No,” Holmes noted succinctly, with evident disgust. “Victor spoke much, and said little.” His head thudded against the back of the other wing chair in annoyance.

“Sounds like someone else I know,” Skye tossed off nonchalantly, then shot her husband a pert grin.

“Oh, do you think so?” Holmes replied innocently, hiding his own grin. “Anyone I might know?”

“Possibly,” Skye observed laconically, in her best imitation of Holmes’ own style.

“Really, my dear, you are a quick study!” Holmes laughed aloud. “Perfection! Even I recognise myself in your responses. You are quite the impressionist.”

“I have a good teacher,” she chuckled. “So what are you going to do now?”

“Probably seek out the coroner in Woodbridge tomorrow per schedule. Then go see McFarlane’s neighbour the day after. I should do it today, but it is rather late in the day for calling unannounced upon the rural folk. How is the organisation coming along?”

“All done,” Skye gestured to the new filing cabinet MI-5 had provided, sitting in the corner. “Ready to be reviewed in detail. Alphabetical, as you prefer.”

“Capital! In that case, would you care for a drive, before the sun sinks too low? I thought we could survey the area and get the lay of the land.”

“I thought you’d never ask. Let me grab my coat and hat and I’ll be ready to go.”

“Don’t forget your scarf—er, muffler,” Holmes suggested, mentally noting it would help hide her face as he followed her to the mudroom. “The wind is damp and raw.”

“Got it,” Skye said, bundling herself efficiently as Holmes reached for his own outerwear.

They headed out for a long, rambling drive, to get a feel for the overall locations of towns and villages.
