Rose played the demented patient well.
When the police came around to visit her, she fumbled with her bunches of keys, a hundred in each and played the senior citizen that was well beyond the senior part of the title.
'We just want to question you about the couple who live in Bayswater...?'
Rosa oftered the detective some stale bread she got from the church last Sunday.
'No thanks,' said the detective, who was getting nowhere.
Eventually he left, said Rosa.
As to where Eric and his Chinese wife ended up, Rosa only mentioned her mango tree out the back.
'Great fertiliser.'
Her neighbor used meat as fertiliser she got from her the butcher she worked at on the weekends.
'So when the detective asked what was that bad smell, I told him it was the fertiliser the Vietnamese used on her garden next door.'
'Brilliant,' said Max, 'get her out in the field immediately.'
