I like Madame Bisset's sense of humour. Feline companion indeed...
There are some priceless details here, like the fact that the landlady wears rollers. You incorporate them into the narrative making it more believable.
Thanks for sharing. Great prose.

Comment from giraffmang
You know I keep a little envelop here of sixes just for you, don't you? lol the thump in back of my head had translated into a persistent tapping- I don't mind the expression here but I'm wondering if 'the' may be included before back.
She settled, purring as she sunk her claws in and out of my leg. - yeah, that's cats for you... horrible creatures.
There's a nice juxtaposition there with the cat and Charles' scratches lol, as commented on by Helen's 'two-timer' comment.
What she omitted to tell me was that she also planned to meet with Jeanne, to make arrangements with unimaginable consequences for us both. / I had pocketed my diplomatic passport in addition to the regular one. It was a decision I would live to regret.- nice setting up for later events without giving anything away. lol
Now what does Bamforth want? - cue dramatic music.
Great stuff.

Once again you have me on the edge of my seat.
Nonetheless, it was his by right, and that was an end to the matter, or so I thought. (I am betting more on this is too come.)
What she omitted to tell me was that she also planned to meet with Jeanne, to make arrangements with unimaginable consequences for us both. (again makes the reader wonder- what next.)
I had pocketed my diplomatic passport in addition to the regular one. It was a decision I would live to regret. (HMMMMM!!!!)
The last remnants of a hellish inferno were being extinguished by the rising gloom. (Not good!)

Thanks, Barbara, for the sixth star and generous comments. I may have boxed myself into a corner with all that foreshadowing. LOL
All good wishes, Tony.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
That Jean is always up to no good. This was a good chapter, Tony. There is lots of action and intrigue leading up to departure. The line about the passport was interesting--we'll see where that leads. Thanks for sharing. Jan
