1 Chapter
The Clarkson family lived in the country near Cambridge，about half a mile from the nearest village and about a mile from the river．They had a big，old house with a beautiful garden，a lot of flowers and many old．trees．
One Thursday morning in July，Jackie came in from the garden．She was a tall，fat woman，thirty years old．It was the hottest day of the year，but she wore a warm brown skirt and yellow shirt．She went into the kitchen to get a drink of water．Just then the phone rang．
'Hello．This is Diane．I want to talk to Mother．'
'Mother isn't here，'Jackie said．'She's at the doctor's．'
'Why？What's Wrong？'
'Nothing's wrong，'Jackie said．'Why are you telephoning？ You are going to come this weekend？ Mother wants everyone to be here．'
'Yes，I want to come，'Diane said．'I'm phoning because I have no money for the train ticket．'
'No money！Mother is always giving you money！'
'This phone call is very expensive，'Diane said coldly．'Tell Mother please．I need the money．'

'That's a beautiful dress，Diane．Is it new？'Jackie asked．
'Thank you，Jackie．Yes，it's new，and very expensive．I got it on Wednesday，'Diane said．She smiled at Jackie．
'All your things are expensive，'Jackie said．She remembered the phone call on Thursday about the train ticket．
'I don't like cheap things，'Diane said．'And I'm going to need more money soon．I want to go to America．Can you help me，Roger？'
'Oh no，'Roger said．'Nobody wants to help you， Diane．You don't like working，we all know that，but we all want you to get a job．'
Diane laughed．'It doesn't matter，Roger．I don't need your help．Mother always helps me．Mother loves me best．'She suddenly smiled，a quick，beautiful smile．But her eyes were cold．
Peter Hobbs came here this morning．He's very angry with you about that letter．He lost his job，you know．He says… he says he's going to kill you！''Jackie said

Early next morning the house was quiet．Suddenly there was a cry from the room next to Roger's，his mother's room．Roger opened his eyes and looked at the clock．It was nearly seven o'clock．He got out of bed and opened the door quietly．At the same time the door of his mother's room opened and Diane came out．Her face was very white．
'Roger！It' s Mother！I brought a cup of coffee for her and I found her dead．She's dead…dead in her bed，'she cried．
'I'm going to call the doctor，'Diane said．
'Dr Pratt，this is Diane Clarkson．It's my mother—she's dead．Can you come quickly？'
'I'm sorry，'he said．
Dr Pratt said nothing for a minute．'This is going to be very difficult．I'm going to phone the police，Roger．'
