Just one more question...

Interrogation.  A question. A short story of what you have done. Or not. The truth is only known by one. So you didn't see Francis Cooper on the 6th? Although you had the date marked on your calendar? Cancelled. OK......OK "Thinking" Its just that Mrs Cooper's gardener said he saw your car that day. On the drive. For over an hour. You deny this? "Thinking" No. No...My wife. My wife borrowed the car that day. Just a mix up Your wife knew Francis Cooper too? Yes. She does her nails every Tuesday. OK. "Thinking" The Tuesday was the 5th I believe Mr Sanders. "Thinking" Sorry. Yes, she changed dates so, you know, like I say, just a mix up. OK...... OK. Slowly walking away, Oh, just one more question... JJB
