    The Crown Rests – 3

    She sorted through her mail, separating her correspondence into distinct piles. Shortly there was a soft tap on the door, without raising her head she said “Come!”  Tina entered the room admiring the beautiful hand carved David Lindley furniture. Bette still had not looked up from her mail but she was flapping wildly with one hand which Tina interpreted as take a seat. “By the way Bette I just wanted to say thanks for the lovely meal last evening and the cab ride home was such a treat.”

    Still not looking up from the letter that had gripped her attention Bette mumbled something unintelligible and flapped her hand again.

    Tina thought she would have some fun.  “I’m sorry to see that the sore throat that afflicted you so badly yesterday has reappeared and whatever ails you seems to have manifested as tremors in your hand!”

    “What? Oh sorry for that, I’m fine really it’s just that I’m rather intrigued by this letter.  Here, see!” She now flapped the letter in Tina’s face indicating that she wanted her to read it.

    After about 3 seconds Bette asked impatiently “Well?”

    “Well, I notice the missive is from the firm of solicitors Lawler’s & Fairbanks and I’ve just got to the part where they address you as ‘Miss Porter’ rather than the more acceptable politically correct ‘Ms.’; they have used Arial 10 point and used”

    Peering over her reading glasses that were perched on the end of her nose, “OK Sherlock.” said an exasperated Bette “Perhaps you’d like to read the actual letter and allow me to benefit from your unearthly powers of deduction!”

    “They appear to have access to information regarding one of your old clients who was convicted of murder.  But you would need to defend their client against a charge of murder.  Reading between the lines it seems it could help in an appeal trial.”

    Bette by this time had paced the length and breadth of her office and suddenly stopped behind Tina. “What are your plans for lunch?”

    “I hadn’t really thought, I suppose a sandwich and a walk along the river might be in order”

    “Cancel that. Go and get your coat, we’re off to Scotland Yard.  I’ll explain on the way”
