Three Mile Drove, Chapter Eleven

CHAPTER ELEVEN The gathering of old people around the vicarage porch gradually began to disperse. Endleberry smiled, patting each person on the shoulder as they left, taking their hands warmly in his. The weekly coffee morning dispensed with, he turned to go inside, catching as he did so, a glimpse of a figure crossing the street.

Your stumbling over the mattress could just lead to the breakthrough we need. Now show me where you think the rock that hit your vehicle was thrown from, and then I'll leave you to check out your property.'
