‘Plotting to kill me?’
He asks in jest and I chuckle, as he expects me to. I pick up the slipping rug that almost sent him toppling down those treacherous stairs.
‘I put it there because…,’ but he dismissed my explanation with a ‘yes, dear’ and asks when lunch will be ready. I inspect the uneven floorboards, looking for the loose one. No matter where I push, they won’t stay level. Someone will trip over them.
‘Lunch, dear? I am quite hungry, you know.’
Will I get away with it if he stumbles, falls and his neck takes a twist?
Ouch ! He should pay attention to his cup of coffee too !

Yes, you’ll definitely get away with it! There must be loads of cases of ‘accidental’ death, ‘unproven’. It just takes the right moment -just a little trip …

I do wonder how often this sort of thing happens…

Well, clearly it’s put the seed of a thought in my head, so I’m off to polish the floors and then it’s down to Ikea to buy a nice big rug …
