afternoon. Nothing had changed since his team had left in the early hours. The
collapse was presumably completed. On Monday morning he took care to be present
when the surveyor arrived.

34 - Laura's plight
Meetings at the vicarage had a tendency the bring out the
worst in anyone who had an axe to grind, so it was with some trepidation that
Edith laid out an appetizing selection of homemade cookies and cakes on the
sideboard and instructed the five boys not to be a nuisance on pain of death. As

for it all to sink a bit. He was sorry he had allowed a meeting to take place.
His digestion was uncomfortable. He would rather lie down and forget the world.

going to walk out on the proceedings in the vestry, but she had eventually come
round to believing that things were exactly as Rita had said they were.
