They Found Him Dead<\/em><\/a> (1937) Georgette Heyer<\/a> (Inspector Hannasyde #3)<\/p>\n

\"They<\/a>Set in England in 1937<\/p>\n

Clement, who was a partner in the firm of Kane and Mansell, was a man of considerable substance and, since he was heir to his uncle\u2019s private possessions, a man of large expectations also. Miss Allison supposed that Rosemary must have married him for these reasons, for there did not seem to be any other.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Betty Pemble, reinforcing her own arguments by the pronouncements of a host of sages somewhat vaguely referred to by her under the general title of People, set about the formidable task of convincing two stalwarts of the Victorian age that they did not understand children\u2019s little minds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Timothy looked severely from her to Pritchard, and said with a marked nasal intonation: \u2018Say, sister, get wise to this! You can\u2019t put nothin\u2019 across on me!\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018Say, brother,\u2019 retorted Miss Allison, not to be outdone, \u2018let me advise you to scram!\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
