Sheila's Canvas Shoes OR Neville's Slipper?

[Caroline R]

Hi Caroline,  I've probably missed the post of the date when this exchange between AE and EP took place, but when did this happen?

I'm looking for it - I'll post the page when I find it

The picture isn't in the archives Maggie, I've just found it online. They must be the SAME shoes mentioned by AE - see the following .......

AE spoke about the 'shoes' as if they were Sheila's but they can't have been Sheila's, no way.  How did they get there, I wonder?
Why did she find it so strange that Sheila didn't sleep in the bed by the door?  AE is such a Miss Marples, d'you think she thought that was a clue??

Caroline, why do you think it was that AE was "surprised to find that the bed nearest the door hadn't been slept in..........."?

Maggie to me neither bed had been slept in and why an earth would the police remake a bed that had been slept in I have never heard anything as infantile and stupid what is she talking about it is beyond me.

Have you EVER known a man to voluntarily make a bed?

And why were the covers corrected by the police?!

I thought that Susie and then I realised AE meant the one bed hadn't been slept in at all but Sheila had chosen to sleep in the farthest bed while staying at the farm, she must have slept somewhere before that night.  I don't think Sheila had slept that night either.

april no I have not and for anyone to believe the police would start making beds when attending an horrendous murder/suicide scene is totally out of their tree she had a motive I am sure for this ridiculous statement.

But Maggie, why was she SURPRISED that one bed hadn't been slept in?

[susan]

Maggie the other bed was full of stuff her makeup etc she would have slept in the bed the night before and merely pulled the quilt up over the pillow as we do next morning I think it is logical that nobody slept in the other bed what is she talking about.

I agree I posted asking that question at the same time you did.
She seemed to be able to find Jeremy's guilt everywhere but I can't for the life of me make out what she's inferring concerning the beds.

april unless June and Ralph usually slept in that room and AE knew this she has got me confused now

Maggie, if someone had said those words to me, the first thing I'd have asked is who else the expected to be sleeping in the room. Had she not already mention the room where the twins had slept I would have thought that she was expecting that they would have slept in the same room as Sheila.

Susan, that's a VERY valid point.

I don't know it's a strange quote april,  was she just waffling?
