Curious Philip

Summary/Abstract: The ambulance entered the long passageway slowly, almost hesitantly. There were two families living in the house: Miss Cusster with her sick, elderly sister in the front part, nearer to the road, and Philip Rappay, his wife and two daughters in the back. The ambulance drew up at the back of the hall, outside Philip Rappay's door. The driver and his assistant jumped out of the vehicle, opened the rear doors and pulled out the dead body of Philip Rappay, wrapped up in a sheet. Just at that moment the door in the front part of the house opened and Miss Cusster peered out. When she realised what was happening, she went back inside, only to appear again after a short while. This time, however, she left the door open and the amplified tones of light music wafted through it. Miss Cusster had put her gramophone on and her face was so flushed and radiant, you could see she was elated about something and this something was that they had just brought the deceased Philip Rappay home.
