[MaC] Examining the body

[Mel Mason]

>> She worked neatly and energetically, defying the body's weight and
>> rigour to tug and work the dress on. After smoothing Nola's hair
>> carefully, she stepped back and shook her head. "Best I can do, and that
>> little enough," she said with regret. "I'll just step into the kitchen
>> and wash up. Could you kindly look after Tabitha, Mrs.
>> Skeffington-Nottle? I daresay she won't want to see *me*."

Certainly," agreed Lucinda, and she moved to the door.

[Tabitha] leaned against the wall outside and tried to calm herself.

"Here," said Lucinda, producing a silver cigarette case.  "Do you smoke?"

She took out a cigarette and lit it for herself.

"Beastly business," she said.  "Perhaps that was why she was so on edge.  I 
wonder ... "

And then she became aware of Marty Fitzroy standing at the service door of 
his own flat.  For a moment he glowered at them - then he turned and 
disappeared back into his own flat.

"Y'know," said Lucinda quietly, "I'm starting to feel this was news that we 
shouldn't be keeping to ourselves."

(OOC - if Pamela wants to return with the clothes, they can cover the body, 
lock up the flat, and join other people in the flat opposite / downstairs 
(when they find out that's where they've gone.  And Warren may want to ask 
Barowenski some questions of his own).
