Faithful Unto Death

 

 

 

Tom, Joyce and Cully Barnaby are enjoying the village fete. Barnaby wins a coconut! Cully says she recognises an old lady who used to be an actress. Tom asks "you mean the one over there, the mutton dressed as lamb?" The old lady comes over and Cully remembers her name, Elfrida Molfrey.

We are then taken inside to one of the tents at the fete. Gray Paterson, one of the visitors, starts an argument regarding some money which was lost in the Mill Craft Centre Project. He fights with Alan Hollingsworth who seems to be involved in the conflict. Tom naturally intervenes and stops the fight.

Later Barnaby is told by one of his friends, who is also Chairperson of the Planning Committee, that she was offered £3,000 to push the plans for the Mill project through. She was also threatened!
