“– Ну хоть одна спокойная смерть, – заметила я.

– Вы так думаете? О, нет: пока леди Каролина падала вниз, она истошно кричала и хваталась руками за воздух.

Мы все немного помолчали, глядя, как ветерок гонит рябь по поверхности холодной воды в озере. Затем Джордж прокашлялся и сказал:

– Э-э… Прелестный розарий.

– Да… Разбит на том самом месте, где упала леди Каролина.

– И красивое озеро…

– В этом озере утонул сэр Джон Кери. Пошел как-то ночью купаться. Рассказывают, что он благополучно доплыл до середины, а затем камнем пошел ко дну – такими тяжелыми оказались воспоминания, которые нахлынули на него в эту минуту.”

“George will be at home, I should think,” Lockwood said easily. “Probably making one of his chicken-and-sweetcorn pies. He’s really very domesticated.” Sir Rupert smiled approvingly. “Sounds scrumptious. I must pop round to Portland Row sometime.” “Please do,” Lockwood said. “I’d love that.” “Good night, then.” “Good night.” We pattered swiftly down the steps and set off up the Strand. “One day,” Lockwood said, “I’m clearly going to have to kill him. Not now, but sometime soon.”

“Time snapped back into one piece. I was wholly in the present, alert and questioning.”

“This is the way it was with Lockwood, his shifts were sometimes so sudden that they took your breath away. But his energy and enthusiasm were always impossible to resist.”

“I was having dark thoughts about waffles.”
