Re: Leaving Shell Cottage, to go to Lavender's home
Percy put out a hand to Bill to make him stop on the walk, pausing before they continued. He looked a little flustered, "Is it that obvious? I mean, I don't want to scare her off by being too forward. She's pretty sure she's going to hurt someone or going to get hurt in some way. I don't want to alarm her at all."
After he'd spoken, he let go of Bill, and they were at the door, with Bill knocking. There was no reply for a few minutes, "She's here. She doesn't go anywhere. Maybe she's getting something ready," he said, trying not to sound worried.
