I clued in when Mr. Potter didn't show up for tea that something certainly was up. I knew Charles shouldn't go down those stairs. I wonder what the accent would have been of the characters, I would love to see this one done on stage David, it really is very good indeed. A smashing ending for sure. Melvina

Excellent grand guignol David with some superb moments and a great flare for dialogue. My mother played Martha in Arsenic and Old lace when I was a teenager. I can till remember the sister's genteel manners and the black lace of their bonnets. A charming story with a Sweeney Todd ending. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

AHA! ! This was a great story, and well worth the reading, David! You should write more of these black comedies - this is simply delightful! I had an inkling that something was amiss, but never expected a crocodile! That was a great surprise, and made me laugh. I pictured my two aunts, one of whom never married, but she lived with the other and her husband. They would go on trips, the two sisters would sit together and the husband would take a back seat. They would sometimes eat part of his lunch, and say, 'Oh, he'll never know' and then giggle at their little secret. David - this is priceless! Linda :) :) :)
