1. Self-Protection
n Thursday afternoon Mrs Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it andwent to the Over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice out-ing for an old woman who lived alone. At six o'clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke.Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had somebody got in? She checked the backdoor and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign offorced entry. Had anything been taken? She went from room to room, checking.Yes, some things were missing —— her small radio, her spare watch, a camera.That was all, she thought; but she couldn't be sure just yet. She was annoyed, ofcourse, but rather glad that nothing had been thrown about. Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fit-ted her front door —— "a master key" perhaps. So she stayed at home the followingThursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On theThursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn'tgo to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in throughher garden and the back door. She settled down to wait. It was just after four o'clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs Clarke wasmaking a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she movedquietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock, Mrs Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There wasa shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wirefell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs Clarke heard the sound of run-ning feet. |
