Author's Notes: He took a piece of white paper folded up out of his waistcoat pocket. 'See that the boy has this to-night, and you shall have the prettiest frock that money can buy.'



Edith Baxter:
On her scruples, Simpson taxed her.
But she didn’t want to dress up in a new gown,
And the stable lad gave Simpson a dressing down.

Good for Edith. Shame her loyalty wasn't matched by that of the trainer.

Yes, indeed. Poor Straker did end up paying though for all his bad choices.

Indeed! I love the "dress up"/"dressing down" wordplay here. :)

Simpson got a little more than he bargained for when he visited the stables that night. It only went downhill from there.

I'm pleased you noticed it ^_^

You have got to feel a bit sorry for Simpson. He was just indulging in some mildly shady behaviour, but he managed to choose the night all hell broke loose ^^"

Very elegant rhyming there with dress/gown/dressing down. :) Simpson certainly was at the proverbial wrong place at the wrong time.

Thank you so much ^^ And you have got to have some sympathy for Simpson - being arrested on suspicion of murder can't have been a pleasant experience ^^"
