Sheila's Canvas Shoes OR Neville's Slipper?

[HMEssex]

So, what do we think about 'the 'shoes'??

Why did EP need to secrete them away under the watchful eye of AE?

Maggie or indeed separate houses

I have to say that's a good thought Susan, it is a possibility, especially as Nevill was having trouble with his back and maybe was more comfortable in his own bed, so they spread out into the other room as well. 
It reinforced the fact she told Julie that Sheila was found on the bed in the main bedroom.
Ralph must have usually slept in there because there was no surprise from AE that his slippers were by that particular bed.

Howz about this. Because of his back, Nevill needs the space afforded by a double bed and JUNE sleeps in the single bed. I don't think she would have minded saying that, for "medical" reasons, they slept in different rooms and Ann expected that she would have shared the single bedded room with Sheila.

I don't know but there had to be something about them that interested them??

Quite possibly.

But didn't AE say they were Sheila's canvas shoes?

Makes sense to me.

Exactly!

Oh don't worry - I could easily look for it myself!

I was hoping it was a fairly recent post.

And what about the Teddy Bear (sorry couldn't help it) who did he belong to?  Where did he usually sleep

Shoes? Shoooooes? AH, it's starting to come back to me now You wanted to know why the police took the shoes/slippers but asked Ann to keep shtum about it. Caroline, I can't give you a defin itive answer because I'm not even certain that she was telling the truth about it.

It was a rhetorical question anyway. But there MUST be more to it!!

[lookout]
