the seven sleuths club by carol norton chapter 10 wanted a housekeeper meanwhile colonel wainwright was facing a new problem while living alone he had needed very little waiting on a faithful chinese cook had provided his meals and the wife of his hired man had come in daily from their quarters over the stables to clean the house but the oharas had decided to return to ireland geraldine of course was absolutely helpless and the colonel decided that what he needed was a refined and somewhat elderly housekeeper one who would be a good influence in the home just where to find such a person he could not think at first but he happened to recall his old friend mrs thompson who had transformed her fine house on hickory lane not far from the girl's seminary into a home for old ladies it wasn't a charitable plan exactly it was a home for homeless old ladies of some means whose last days would be made far happier than they could be elsewhere mrs thompson herself retained a large front room overlooking the beautiful grounds and spent her summers there winter she lived either in europe or with her son in new york but only that day he had seen in the paper that for some reason mrs thompson was spending a few weeks at her country home and the courtly old gentleman decided to visit her and ask her advice about how best to solve the problem with which he was confronted half an hour later he was walking under the leafless hickory trees that formed a veritable grove surrounding a very large turreted wooden house one of the oldest in the village a pleasant-faced little old woman answered his ring ushering him into the small reception room and went to summon mrs thompson he had not long to wait for his elderly friend dressed in simple black silk as she had been all through the years since her husband had died soon appeared and greeted him graciously after explaining that her return had been because of a need for a quiet and simple affair then she could really obtain easily at her son's new york home the old gentleman explained his mission telling how he had unexpectedly acquired a family and so had need of a housekeeper before his story was finished he knew by the brightening expression in the fine face of the old lady that she had someone in mind to suggest nor was he wrong i believe mrs gray is just the one for you she told him she admitted you just now then before mr wainwright could reply mrs thompson continued mrs gray came to us recently during my absence i know nothing at all of her past life we ask no questions here it is as you know merely a home boarding house for gentlewoman i asked mrs gray this morning if she were happy with us and she said with a wistful expression on that unusually sweet face of hers that she was afraid she would never be entirely contented without a home to keep and she asked me if she might go down into the kitchen now and then and stir up a pudding or something now my theory is that she is a born housekeeper and just the one you need colonel wainwright agreed and the little old lady who longed to put her about in a kitchen was called and the proposition was made to her the other two knew where the brightening of her softly wrinkled face that she was delighted to accept the colonel had told about the two morrison children as he called them would come to spend the winter with him and by the tender light that glowed in her eyes he was assured that she loved young people and would have for them an understanding sympathy mrs gray he said when the arrangements had been completed there is about you a haunting suggestion of someone whom i...
