Fandom 50 (44): Miss Marple - And Friends

Miss Marple is great friends with Dolly Bantry and also her husband Arthur.  Dolly features in several of my fics and Arthur also turns up from time to time.  While Miss Marple likes her garden, Dolly is an even keener gardener, so flowers frequently play a part.

“Thank you so much for a delightful evening,” Miss Marple said to her friends Dolly and Arthur Bantry.  “It has been lovely sitting outside in the glorious weather we’re having.”

“It’s the least we could do, after you exonerated the maid from stealing George’s money.  I shall sleep easy tonight knowing I didn’t falsely accuse her.”

“Yes, the poor girl was so easily taken in by his outward appearance.  Just like some of these modern roses, all beautiful blossoms but absolutely no scent.”

“And I will have neither scentless roses nor feckless young men in my garden,” Dolly said firmly.
