Description
"Vera Claythorne, tired by a recent strenuous term at school, thought to herself- "Being a games mistress in a third-class school isn't much of a catch... If only I could get a job at some decent school."
And then, with a cold feeling round her heart, she thought- "But Im lucky to have even this. After all, people don't like a Coroner's Inquest, even if the coroner did acquit me of all blame!"
He had even complimented her on her presence of mind and courage, she remembered. For an inquest it couldn't have gone better. And Mrs. Hamilton had been kindness itself to her- Only Hugo- (but she wouldn't think of Hugo...) Suddenly, in spite of the heat in the carriage she shivered and wished she wasn't going to the sea."

~And Then There Were None~ by Agatha Christie
