The Inescapable Muse
It was a perfect setting for a murder. The characters leapt to her mind’s eye: two brothers suavely lounging in the large padded oval back armchairs.
She pictured their wives, prim and dutifully attentive in the smaller twinned balloon backs.
Or perhaps she would mix it up to attract the increasing cohort of latter-day suffragettes and sympathizers who appeared to take umbrage at earlier novels.

But who would die?
Agatha scribbled.
