JESSE HAD KNOWN MRS STEEL FOR A LONG TIME NOW ALWAYS strictly in a professional context, but, still, long enough to be taken aback by her present words and attitude This aard, passionate conversation was unthinkable in coered this irrepressible show of feelings

It cost some time, trouble and several atteot to fully understand as tor the lawyer Since Mrs Sloan's death, she had discovered that the doctor was involved with a nurse at the hospital, who, in turn, told her about his plans to remarry the writer

"Good old spite"

"Yeah, well… Dr Cameron has turned out to be a real Don Juan Is he truly that irresistible?"

Kathy appreciated Jesse's hu enough to fall prey to his charm," she answered with a wink

They were in the cafeteria of the hotel Not their hotel The one they were staying in - for a very short time, they hoped - while they solved what they had coht eventually have been murdered

"You don't really believe that story, do you?" Kathy's question was, , addressed to herself

"Bear in mind that there really is no story The nurse told Mrs Steel she suspected hiot himself included in the will But he would have had to marry her first, which didn't happen Dr Sloan knew very well that at this stage, when Mrs Sloan was , he had no chance of inheriting So, ould he have had anything to do with her death? Besides, you were there that night Did you see anything strange?"

"I've been thinking about it since we left Mrs Steel The fact is that he wasn't the first doctor to see her e arrived at the hospital I think he was busy with some other patient and arrived later No, he couldn't have done her any harm Oh, this is crazy!"

"I wonder what Mrs Steel's husband thinks about all this," said Jesse, again trying to alleviate the tension Oh, he was so different from David!

"I think Dr Ca about his plans regarding his ex And noe know too"

"Maybe he was just having so money is not fictitious"
