  I leaned into him so we both could read the front-page story. Archer's arrest wasn't in it, of course; that was too recent. And while the reporter hinted that there may have been questions about the earl's untimely death, there was nothing to suggest a murder had been committed. Most of the story covered the ball, photos of the society guests in their finery, including one of the host and hostess in the reception line, and the tragic loss at the end of what had been a spectacular evening. There were quotes from notables around the country praising the Earl of Norrance and his service in the House of Lords. I imagine the reporter must have had to awaken many of his sources to get appropriate reactions by his deadline.

conversations.value: Mardling's mouth dropped open, and he scanned the paper in his hand. "That's right. How did you know?"
  I looked around at the three surprised faces and shrugged. "Really, I just thought of it now." I addressed Mardling. "You just said you 'painted a rather severe picture' for Archer, and I remembered that Elmore Jackcliff is painting the countess's portrait in oils."
  At the top of the grand staircase, we turned left instead of right, toward our rooms, and walked down the deserted corridor. Before the ball, there had been other guests staying on this floor. I'd greeted a few when I happened to pass them as I went back and forth to my room. But I could feel the emptiness of the building now that they'd departed. The hall sconces still provided illumination, but the lights over each of the paintings on the walls had been extinguished, presumably to save on the cost of electricity.
  I had no difficulty locating Elmore Jackcliff's makeshift studio. It was right next door to an arresting painting, a still life of a hare and two pheasants draped on a wooden table and surrounded by platters of raw vegetables. I suppose it represented the ingredients of a meal some centuries back.
  I tried the knob, and the door opened into the darkened room. George walked in and fumbled around the wall until he found the light switch. The room appeared to be exactly as I'd seen it last: the chair under the window, the chaise in the corner with its throw pillow left on the floor, the drop cloth under the easel, and the battered table holding the artist's materials. I led our small group around to the front of the canvas. It, too, had not been altered. I must have come upon Jackcliff when he'd stopped working for the day. Or perhaps he preferred to have his model in front of him before adding strokes to the portrait.

  I tried to pay Hazel, but she insisted that the horses were a gift. "I'll never forget what you did for Emmie and Colin," she said. "And I'm sure Flavia, wherever she is, is grateful, too."
  A few days later Ralph drove us to Heathrow Airport, getting me there in plenty of time for my flight to Boston, where Jed Richardson, who runs a charter air service in Cabot Cove, would meet me and fly me home.
  I let that final comment of his linger as I kissed him good-bye and disappeared into the security line. I was tempted to look back and wave, but knew that if I did, the tears would flow. If there ever was a man I could love as much as my late husband, Frank, it was George Sutherland.
