“We have met a time or two,” Jessica began.
     “Yes, I louis vuitton damier ebene handbags remember.” Now that she had the face, Eve did remember. The woman was a trim and carefully turned-out eighty-something with short, softly waved hair of deep gold around a sharp-featured face. Her mouth, long and animated, was painted petal pink, and her eyes—thickly lashed—a deep river green.
     “You wear Leonardo.”
     “Only if he washes chanel bags outlet up first.”
     Jessica giggled, an appealing sound of eternal youth. “One of my granddaughters is mad for his designs. Won’t wear anyone else. He suits her, as he does you. I believe people should always choose what suits them.”
     When she passed Eve the tea, Eve had to resist commenting that coffee in a chanel handbags outlet good, sturdy mug suited her.
     “We appreciate you giving us your time, Ms. Charters.”
     “Jessica, please.” She offered Peabody a cup and a flashing smile. “Indulge me just one moment. Could I ask, when the two of you interrogate—oh, wait, the term’s ‘interview’ these days—when you interview a suspect, do you ever rough them chanel bags outlet up?”
     “We don’t have to,” Peabody told her. “The lieutenant scares confessions out of them.”
     The giggle rang again. “What I wouldn’t give to watch that! I just love police dramas. I’m always trying to imagine myself the culprit, and how I’d stand up under interviews. I desperately wanted to kill my third husband, chanel bags sale you see.”
     “It’s a good impulse to resist,” Eve commented.
     “Yes.” Jessica smiled her flower petal smile. “It would’ve been satisfying, but messy. Then again, divorce is rarely much tidier. Now, I’m wasting your time. How can I help you?”
     “Stewart E. Pierpont.”
     Jessica’s eyebrows quirked. “Yes, yes, I know that name. Has he done something chanel bags outlet murderous?”
     “We’re very interested in speaking to him. We’re having a little trouble locating him.”
     Though mild confusion was evident on Jessica’s face, her tone remained absolutely pleasant. “His address would be on file. I’ll have Lyle look it up for you.”
