Friends

  

  It was Saturday morning, Nicky and I were just finishing our shopping. “Let me see...” Nicky said. “ We’ve been to the supermarket , the baker’s and the greengrocer’s... Is that the lot?”

  I looked at my list. “I just need a couple of things from the chemist's ,” I told her. “All right, ” Nicky said. “While you’re doing that, I'll just call in at the bookshop. ”

  We arranged to meet at a cafe in a quarter of an hour. I arrived first. When Nicky came in, she looked quite excited.

  “Did you find your book, then?” I asked as she sat down.

  “Yes,” Nicky said.

  “Something special?” I asked. I was curious because Nicky was not a great reader, except for newspapers and magazines. She sometimes borrowed books, but she rarely bought them.

  “ Well , yes , ” Nicky admitted.

  “What's all the mystery?” I asked. “Tell me all about it!”

  “It isn't exactly a mystery, Kay,” Nicky began. I waited for her to go on. “Well, do you remember that woman who used to live opposite the church-Miss Hunter?”

  “The one who used to wear funny clothes and had a large dog? Wasn’t she an artist?”

  “Well, yes, ” Nicky said. “She did paint-but only as a hobby. As a matter of fact, she was a writer-and I've just bought her latest book! ” Nicky took the book out of her bag and passed it across the table. The title was “Death Comes to the Village”.

  “A detective story,” I said. “Hey, do you think we're in it?”

  “I’m pretty sure I am,” Nicky said, looking rather pleased with herself.“ You see, Miss Hunter and I were quite good friends and she often said she was going to put me into her next book!”

  “Shall we have a look?” I asked. But Nicky picked the book up and put it in her bag. “I’d like to read it first, ” she said. “But I'll lend it to you, of course... ”

  Some time passed after our meeting in the cafe and I heard nothing from Nicky. I decided to ring her up and ask about the book. “Oh, that!” she said in a small voice.

  “You don’t sound very pleased , ” I said. “ Weren’t you in the book after all?”

  “Yes, ” Nicky said. “I’m in the book all right! But who do you think I am? I’m the village post woman ! I pass on all the gossip in the village ! I even open letters sometimes ! I’m the most unpleasant person in the whole book! That woman is no friend of mine, I can tell you!”
